Probably because the latest PKGBUILD is still the same PKGBUILD as before. I see something went wrong with the mirroring/pushing to the AUR. Different git issue i.c.w. CI pipeline (repository ownership) so the PKGBUILD was never included. I'll fix that in a bit.

I'm still unable to build after cloning the latest PKGBUILD.

Cloning into 'looking-glass-git/src/looking-glass/repos/PureSpice'...
fatal: transport 'file' not allowed
fatal: clone of '/home/nark/Downloads/looking-glass-git/src/PureSpice' into submodule path 'looking-glass-git/src/looking-glass/repos/PureSpice' failed

@gutash; it's not advisable to use internal/private git commands. There's no telling when those may change or break.

Due to CVE-2022-39253, the flag protocol.file.allow was changed to default to 'user', which disallows the use of file:// clones. The proper way to deal with this is to set the config flag to re-allow file:// clones instead. I've updated the package to explicitly provide this config flag for the submodule update commands.

A recent git update broke some -git packages using submodules. I've seen a common fix between other packages for this, so here's a patch that enables this package to properly build again:

The project already did back in August. Under the default build options, it's not a new dependency for the client. It is now only additionally being used in the client's X11 displayserver component but it's not a new dependency.

Unless you've manually made changes to the PKGBUILD to change the build options to exclude anything and everything libxkbcommon, nothing changed.
