Packages with unversioned git sources should have a -git suffix and a pkgver() function, and as previously mentioned packages with any git sources need git as a makedepend.

@nicman23 as @D1SoveR mentioned, could you please update the PKGBUILD pkgrel? It's quite annoying constantly showing one package to update in my AUR helper.

Note on small discrepancy: .SRCINFO lists pkgrel as 2, whereas PKGBUILD lists it as 1. This leads to AUR helpers repeatedly marking the package for update as the built version looks like it's behind the one available in AUR.

Since this package has a git source, it should have a make dependency for git which it currently doesn't.

Like previous comments stated Do your git clone; Edit the dkms.conf replace the two 'MAKE' & 'CLEAN' lines with:

MAKE="make -C $kernel_source_dir M=$dkms_tree/$PACKAGE_NAME/$PACKAGE_VERSION/build/src modules"

CLEAN="make -C $kernel_source_dir M+$dkms_tree/$PACKAGE_NAME/$PACKAGE_VERSION/build/src clean"

Pacman the built package in and viola!

The included dkms.conf fails to compile the module the first time for me with a custom kernel. Make indicates a success, but dkms says it failed.

$ sudo dkms install hid-nintendo/1.0 -k 5.6.0-1-amd-staging-drm-next-git-00192-g5ca28f3f536f        

Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel.  Skipping...

After that if I try to run sudo dkms install hid-nintendo/1.0 -k 5.6.0-1-amd-staging-drm-next-git-00192-g5ca28f3f536f again it installs properly. though if I run sudo dkms remove hid-nintendo/1.0 -k 5.6.0-1-amd-staging-drm-next-git-00192-g5ca28f3f536f it will fail again on the first attempt. Changing the included dkms.conf to

MAKE="make -C $kernel_source_dir M=$dkms_tree/$PACKAGE_NAME/$PACKAGE_VERSION/build/src modules"
CLEAN="make -C $kernel_source_dir M+$dkms_tree/$PACKAGE_NAME/$PACKAGE_VERSION/build/src clean"

to match how it is in the git source fixes the issue entirely.
