Thanks!! I did that, noticed that it meant using pavucontrol's version tag, so I had a version tag of my own on pulsecontrol's git to be in 0.9 and not on 5.0.

@OxayotlTheGreat: Do not remove anything from the PKGBUILD and never edit .SRCINFO`manually.

Run makepkg -od and you'll see the pkgver() function generates the pkgver as I mentioned. Then run makepkg --printsrcinfo > .SRCINFO before committing and pushing.

Thanks!! Just to make sure I do think correctly, I should remove the

pkgrel=1

from PKGBUILD, and 

pkgrel = 1
epoch = 1

from .SRCINFO, is that right? Nothing more, nothing less to do?

@OxayotlTheGreat: Ah, I didn't realize they're different.

By the way, I meant to address the pkgver itself, the pkgver() function is actually alright. You're inventing a pkgver instead of generating it with the pkgver() function which is 5.0+r155+ga7a7f55-1.

Thank you for your feedback, yochananmarqos! I pushed an update without the epoch and the unneeded dependency.

I wrote both the patch to port pavucontrol to Gtk4 and the pulsecontrol fork afterward. The fork is directly built upon the port, but looks and behave differently.

Here are screenshots of the same page in Gtk4 pavucontrol and in pulsecontrol, so you can compare:

Pavucontrol https://img.linuxfr.org/img/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f777568654444682e706e67/wuheDDh.png

PulseControl https://img.linuxfr.org/img/68747470733a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f595a34374c38432e706e67/YZ47L8C.png

I cannot read the future, but I plan on working hard to make PulseControl a success, so this shouldn't be a pointless package.

pavucontrol 1.6.0 was updated to Gtkmm 4, so this fork will probably never be updated. This package is basically pointless now.

By the way, this depends on libsigc++-3.0, not libsigc++. 3.0 is already pulled in as a dependency of gtkmm-4.0, so you might not have noticed.

Please remove the epoch, they should almost never be used--especially for the first commit. Please also use a proper pkgver array according to VCS package guidelines.
