Here's an updated variant that addresses a couple of issues. This is not to say that I know of the reason(s) why this package is/was flagged out of date:

• Updated pkgdesc to note that this is coming directly from GitHub, and without the use of install.sh.

• Updated makedepends and conflicts array to reflect on what other nerd-fonts commonly have.

• Updated pkgver and package to resemble more closely to the nerd-fonts-complete AUR variant.

Why is this flagged out of date?

Can you update this?

Anyone else gets this when trying to install

find: The current directory is included in the PATH environment variable, which is insecure in combination with the -execdir action of find. Please remove the current directory from your $PATH (that is, remove ".", doubled colons, or leading or trailing colons)

:: failed to build nerd-fonts-git package(s)

I don't have . in my path

This failed for me with
==> ERROR: url should not be an array
I removed the () from around the url field, and it seems to work (I aborted before completion, since it was too large).
