Your package has several issues, please fix:

  • You download the latest state from a git repository. So you must
    → rename your package loop-git,
    → add provides=("loop") and conflicts=("loop"),
    → add git to the makedepends array;
  • your pkgver() function returns the commit hash of the latest upstream commit. $pkgver must be strongly monotoneously increasing with each upstream commit, but your solution is random with regards to version ordering. So you must
    → rewrite pkgver() to provide something proper which follows the packaging rules,
    → increment $epoch (add epoch=1) since this will change the package versioning scheme.

Regards, thanks for the package and thanks for maintaining!
