Update: The version 100.13 has now the correct tag in the upstream.

The versions 100.11 and 100.12 were tagged to "gtk4-VERSION" in the upstream. The previous ones were "Gtk4-VERSION" with capital "G", and the PKGBUILD was not updated to reflect the change as shown below:

pkgver() {
  cd "$srcdir/desktop-icons-ng"
  git describe --tags | sed 's/Gtk4-//;s/-/+/g' <---- change from Gtk4 to gtk4
}

A workaround to fix the continuous reinstall behaviour is to change the line above and generate the package manually.

The latest version is bugged, it reproposes the update every times either after the update.

Made nodejs an optional depend in meson.build on main now, if you point your package file to the new commit hash, it should build cleanly without requiring the package.

Couldn't get this latest release installed without the "nodejs" package installed. I was receiving the following error: "desktop-icons-ng/po/meson.build:10:9: ERROR: Program 'node' not found or not executable"
