@Hi-Angel, your request is unreasonable.
So, you claim that it is reasonable that when I tried installing emacs-git I didn't get a query "do you want to remove emacs", and when I out of curiosity pressed "yes, I want to continue", pacman failed with a wall of text about conflicting files?
Ha, alright. Folks, anybody else considers that reasonable as well? Might be the new trend in package management that I missed, sorry 🤷♂️
@Hi-Angel, your request is unreasonable.
Three learning hints:
Install emacs-git; run pacman -Ql on it.
Run pacman -Fy, then run pacman -Fl on emacs.
Compare outputs, giving careful attention to the contents of /usr/bin
Question: Do you see why you are wrong in your assertions and request?
Finally, read PKGBUILD(5) and pacman(8) for further enlightenment.
Cheers.
For some reason while installing this package and having the usual emacs package installed, pacman doesn't see it as a conflict.
I think the replaces=('emacs') needs to be changed to conflicts=('emacs'). It's done this way in i3-git and I confirm that works.
@eliasy, the base-devel package group is something the package should never depend on. It falls under the responsibility of the user to install it if it is needed.
I had a hard time installing the current version in my machine. It always failed on the gtk3 check:
checking for gtk+-3.0 >= 3.10 glib-2.0 >= 2.37.5... no
I only solved this after installing pkgconf (1.8.0-1).
Maybe this has to be added as a dependency?
@bhrgunatha it is a good question in fact. Native JSON support was removed from emacs sometime in the first semester of 2022. In my tests leaving JSON support out had some breaking bugs that made it a non-starter. I have to test it again before adding such switch to t build script.
Maybe dumb question: Although jansson is a dependency, there is no --with-json. Does emacs use it it automatically or is it a decision to exclude it from the build configuration?
Did you remove the make step in https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/commit/?h=emacs-git&id=80fbd58b3d3893de586ae9485a187e2995c0c87b?
Can you add the sqlite dependency for the sqlite module?
You can also precompile the trampolines if aot is wanted with make trampolines.
More generic check for existence of a texlive installation
if [[ $DOCS_PDF == "YES" ]] && [[ $(kpsewhich book.cls|wc -l) == "1" ]]; then
makedepends+=( 'texlive-core' );
fi
(btw, users of the AUR package texlive full will have texlive installed und /opt, not /usr/local, so your check will fail for them).

This PKGBUILD is a work in progress. If you find PACKAGING bugs, please let me know ASAP.
Upstream bugs are to be reported upstream. Check out the emacs-devel archives to confirm if this is an already known bug. In fact... Why are you not subscribed to
emacs-devel?. Also check theemacs-bug-trackerarchives.Reporting bugs: Write to the Emacs Bug Tracker and report it there. Or, better yet, use the
debbugsclient included with the text editor. You will find instructions at https://debbugs.gnu.org/. Good luck!If you confirm it is a packaging bug, you are welcome to report it here.
Yaourt and other automated tools users BEWARE! This PKGBUILD is written with hand updating in mind and I won't fix bugs arising from such use. Besides, cloning the same repository time and time again from a non-profit such as the GNU Project/FSF gives out a very low image of you.
