Is this package no longer being maintained? I see it hasn't been updated for a while and it fails to build. It complains about grub_debug_free and grub_debug_malloc in luks2 not being defined, then fails. I'd hoped to get this working now that grub can support a luks2 encrypted boot.

Peter_Littmann: rc1 was indeed to indicate release candidate 1 which was the tag present on the repository the last time this PKGBUILD required changes to cope with issues introduced upstream. As I stated earlier the -git suffix is intended to communicate that this PKGBUILD will always attempt to construct the software from the current git trunk and that pkgver will be generated at build time from data provided by the VCS. As upstream has already moved on past the 2.04 release this PKGBUILD presently generates a pkgver of 2.04.r9.g8f6843ce6-1. Users are expected to have read the relevant documentation BEFORE they visit the AUR and should be familiar with VCS packaging conventions. The ONLY supported method for building and managing packages from PKGBUILDs hosted in the AUR is makepkg. Users are expected to have read and understood what the PKGBUILD does before they download and attempt to use it. The burden of knowing when changes have occurred upstream and when to rebuild a VCS package pulling from a project's git master branch is placed entirely on the end user.

The logic in pgkver() exists to reduce the maintenance burden of VCS packages. Cluttering the AUR with unnecessary updates every time there has been a commit upstream just to keep the pkgver current is generally frowned upon.

But is the name grub-git 2.04.rc1.r19.g4e7b5bb3b-1 not misleading? I thought rc1 stands for release candidate 1 and now there is a real release published as I understand. May be makepkg is called by hand and fetches the latest version, but how does pamac or yay get informed that there is a new version to start makepkg for it when alreaady installed???

Peter_Littmann: This is a VCS package. The -git suffix implies that it will fetch the latest (trunk) version from the upstream git server when makepkg is called. pkgver() automatically updates the package version when it is built.

It looks like grub 2.04 is released on 05. July 2019, please check this: https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/grub/

Fixed by completely re-syncing all source.

Errors still for me: http://ix.io/1No7

scurrvy2020: You are correct, it is an issue with the upstream source. The problem arises from a failure to properly fold in CFLAGS consistently.

I called in some help and we managed to work out what the problem was and generate a minimally invasive hack to work around it.
