dscsm048 is the cmd to use dssat after installation ( 48 is due to current version being 4.8 , it might change to 49,50 and so on )
oneline to test your install
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/DSSAT/dssat-csm-data.git dssat_test && cd dssat_test/Maize && ln -sf ../Weather/.WTH . && cp /DSSAT48/Genotype/MZCER048. . && cp /DSSAT48/StandardData/ . && ln -sf ../Soil/.SOL . 2>/dev/null && dscsm048 MZCER048 A UFGA8201.MZX

sudo ln -s /usr/share/dssat-csm-os-git/StandardData /usr/StandardData
Do not flag out of date unless there is a packaging change ( this is a -git package so the responsibility of reinstalling on a new version is on the user )
VCS packages are not considered out of date when the pkgver changes; do not flag them as the maintainer will merely unflag the package and ignore you. AUR maintainers should not commit mere pkgver bumps.

To force a rebuild from the latest git commit (if using pikaur) : pikaur -S --rebuild dssat-csm-os-git
To check for updates properly during a system upgrade:
pikaur -Syu --devel
