If you don't have time to update this you can add me as co-maintainer. I'm updating the stable version of kitty.
There are several things to be done in this pkgbuild, like
- updated icon path
- add provides and conflicts
- change pkgver to use git tags
- add dependency libunistring, see note https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty#note-for-linuxmacos-packagers
- add dependency 'fontconfig' 'libxkbcommon' 'libxkbcommon-x11' otherwise it don't build in a clean chroot
An updated pkgbuild can be found here https://github.com/FabioLolix/PKGBUILD/blob/master/00_AUR_fix/kitty-git/PKGBUILD
@Trollwut I become the maintainer, apllied the things and this is a -git package, unflagging.
