If the package is outdated, please report it with the 'Flag outdated package' above.
If there is an issue regarding packaging, please report it here:
https://github.com/ItachiSan/linux_packaging/issues/

As I do not use this package (I use a Docker container for Debian packaging) please tell me whenever a dependency is missing, so that I can move it from a make dependency to a normal dependency.

The following diff updates to 2.17.5 :)
The only problem currently is that the perl-git-wrapper dependency is missing the dependency perl-devel-checkbin (which I have just packaged^^).

EDIT: I'm also not sure if these new dependencies here are just makedepends or runtime dependencies ;)

@z3ntu sure thing, I am not really using the package, so when it is outdated just file a outdated package request

@ItachiSan: 2.17.5 is out, do you plan on updating?

Oh, thank you @Alad for the catch!
I thought I putted the tag resolution... Seems not.
Updated the package to track the tag and made it architecture-independent ('any', as it seems that it contains only specific Perl scripts).

Note that when switching to git, you should also specify the tag, i.e.

source=("$pkgname-$pkgver::git+https://anonscm.debian.org/git/collab-maint/devscripts.git#tag=$pkgver")

Thanks for suggestion Alad, I will add them with next update.

My laptop is unusable, updates ASAP.

Some suggestions:

- quote "$pkgdir" and "$srcdir" so the build doesn't fail in directories with spaces
- "$srcdir" in cd "$srcdir"/... is redundant, as the build starts in that directory
- consider using git and #tag=$pkgver so the build doesn't fail on upstream version bumps, as suggested/implemented in dpkg

Package updated, I found out why I wasn't detecting the error. Now everything should be fine.

@max-k / maintainer, I was wrong, yes /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/bts is provided already by bash-completion. If you do a new package revision (as I just did with my devscripts-git AUR package), the file will conflict. pacman -Rs bash-completion, will remove /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/bts, and add it back on reinstall. Installing an upgraded devscripts will cause this conflict:

error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
devscripts-git: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/bts exists in filesystem
