@ryanbarillos I would like to be co-maintainer. Thanks!

You use the ${arch} variable in the source url. But that does not work. ${arch} will always be x86_64 - no matter on which actual cpu architecture you run makepkg. You want to use ${CARCH} which will correctly substitute the architecure. I am running on aarch64 and can confirm that for me aarch64 will be used.

It would be great if you could modify the PKGBUILD so that aarch64 is really supported. Here is the necessary diff (you can test that with CARCH=aarch64 makepkg -scAL -f):

Yay!

Been busy, but I was able to repair my Linux PC.

I can continue maintaining this package.

Alright. mssql-server has now been moved to optdepends.

My apologies for that added dependency. Just added it without testing it as soon as I updated the package. I'll get that mended in a few weeks time and include that suggestion of yours, bodhizafa. Thanks for understanding.

I was able to install and use this to connect to a remote server without the mssql-server dependency (by manually deleting it from the PKGBUILD). I haven't tried every feature, but it seems like it should at least be optional, it is a pretty heavy dep.

Why does this package suddenly require the SQLServer as a dependency? I really would prefer to not have that one installed if possible, as I really only want the client to communicate with remote SQLServer instances.

Can you please provide some context to why that was changed?
