Doing a clean build should resolve the issue

The package always has updates, and whenever you install them, the version does not change. How do I get around this? I have version: libidn11 1.33-2 and there is version libidn11 1.33-3 available, but I can't update.

I needed to do "rm -rf ~/.cache/yay/libidn11" to get out of the loop, even telling yay to cleanbuild the package wasn't picking up the update. Fixed by manually blowing away the cached build.

resolved versioning issue

rm -rf ~/.cache/paru/clone/libidn11

Something is wrong with versioning. It is never stopping updating.

Aur (1) libidn11-1.33-3 != Making package: libidn11 1.33-2

Aur (1) libidn11-1.33-3

Thanks for the patch and reminding about pkgrel. Idk how I managed to update it in .SRCINFO, but not in PKGBUILD.

Fixed the pkgrel and applied the patch.

@gyscos Thanks for the tip, I guess paru's cache got into an inconsistent state due to the pkgrel rollback.

The pkgrels in the .SRCINFO and PKGBUILD are still different, which makes the upgrade repeat endlessly.

Patch to switch the PKGBUILD over to the Gitlab mirror. It's not broke, GNU's Savannah infrastructure is just not very good for a public mirror:

Hi, and thanks for maintaining this package!

It seems the latest commit bumped the pkgrel to 3 in the SRCINFO only, not in PKGBUILD.

As a result, the aur advertises 1.33-3 as available, but the package ends up being 1.33-2. This leads to AUR helpers constantly trying to update this package.

Could you please update PKGBUILD and SRCINFO to agree on a version (either pkgrel=2 or 3 would work). Thanks again!

EDIT: I don't have any issue building the package, apart from the release number. If you're having issues and are using a AUR helper, try removing the package cache (for example if using paru, rm -r ~/.cache/paru/clone/libidn11).
