Thanks for the explanation and looking into this. I forgot git tags are added after the versioned releases.

@eclairevoyant Package updated. By using upstream source files for getting pkgver (like meson files), we will get a future git tag. For reflecting the current version, it's better to use the current git tag plus a revision number, as described in the Arch Wiki. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion and for pointing this. Now the package better reflects the upstream version.

I don't think this PKGBUILD is producing the correct pkgver. If I run this I get 2.11.0.pre1.r145.g97cbc87c but upstream is already on 2.18.0.pre1.

As per upstream's meson.build file, I think it makes more sense to parse that since that's what the build process does.

I would suggest something akin to the following (yes, awk could do what tr is doing but I didn't want to include some rather tortured string quoting):

pkgver() {
    cd "$_srcname"
    git blame -s -L"/version :/,+1" meson.build | tr -d "'," | awk '{
        ver = gensub(/\./,".pre",3,$5);
        "git rev-list --count "$1"..HEAD" | getline commit_count;
        print ver".r"commit_count"."$1
    }'
}

This produces the expected version 2.18.0.pre1.r5.0cae15ff3.

EDIT: I also imagine you'd need to make a similar change to the other libva-* packages you maintain since upstream isn't tagging stuff properly.

@laichiaheng I cannot reproduce your issue. Package is building fine for me.

Try to build it in a chroot.

Because I'm not sure if it is out of date.

dbermond commented on 2017-12-28 15:44 (UTC)

@laichiaheng yes, there is. Use this as the source: 'git+https://github.com/01org/libva.git#tag=libva-1.1.0'.

By the way, the package is not out of date. I don't know why you flagged it.

Is there any way to enable VA version 1.1.0?
