@freestyler7: there are already versioned releases. I've created a pkgbuild on the AUR for the latest stable version of j4-dmenu-desktop if you wanted to use that instead.

I'm complying with the VCS PKGBUILD Guidelines as specified here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_PKGBUILD_Guidelines Some aur helpers have support for working with Version control packages. For example yaourt has the --devel flag: --devel With -u or --sysupgrade, search an update for devel packages.

The problem with this is that a package manager won’t recognize the update because the pkgver doesn’t change. You could try leaving out the pkgver variable and only specify the function. Maybe yaourt “gets” it then.

Another solution could be to keep master branch stable and make experimental changes in another branch. :)

A stable package would be nice I guess

Since this is a git package, it will always be updated to the latest commit each time you rebuild it without any changes to the underlying PKGBUILD. I will only need to update it if a new dependency is introduced etc. :)

New version, commit #66.

remove options=('strip') line, as it's the default anyway in makepkg.conf

Doing a quick search i only found very few packages with other architectures listed in. Apart for some built specifically for arm, the most popular one is package-query. And the rest are requests by users who compiled it successfully on said archs. The wiki says: "Support for the ARM architecture is provided on http://archlinuxarm.org not through posts to the official Arch Linux Forum. Any posts related to ARM specific issues will be promptly closed per the Arch Linux Distrubution Support ONLY policy." It seems removing the arm option is the more sensible option till something changes. Please use the ignorearch makepkg option.

@justin8: I already agreed that 'any' is incorrect. I am still not sure that adding arm platforms, which is a growing list, is a 100% OK in the AUR. Is there any other package that does this? Are there any guidelines for this? Anyway, that is all I have to say about it here. :-)
