Arch Linux User Repository

Thanks @FranklinYu, done.

Hi Tyler, I would recommend to keep the version without the v prefix. It seems more common among the official Arch packages.

Updated to v3.1.0. Removed automatic pkgver generation now that tags are once again being used in the upstream repo. Removed -git suffix from pkgname.

Note: It appears the upstream repo may actually be using tags again (after 8 years of not using them!), so the version will now be tied to the latest tag.

Hey @Anagastes, I looked into this, and the issue is just that pkgver is a required field in PKGBUILD. This field is set when uploaded, and doesn't auto-update after the fact. So yay detects drift between when the pkgver was set on my repo upload and the freshest commit from github at install-time.

The fix you suggested wouldn't solve this problem (I did give it a try!), so I won't be applying it. But thanks for raising awareness of this issue, I'll just have to push to the repo a couple times a year!

Hey @alex19EP, I wish I had known about the -git suffix before making this. But now that this is already made (and the userbase is so small), I think it's more hassle to the users if I were to make a second repo just to fix the -git suffix. I don't see a way to deprecate, so just doing to leave it up.

I've adopted namcap though for any future works, thanks for your suggestion!

Hi, the package reports continuously in an AUR helper this, no matter what version.

tmux-plugin-manager : local (v3.0.0.r69.gb699a7e-1) is newer than the AUR (v3.0.0.r60.g2afeff1-1)

Would it be possible to set the package here so that the version also fits? So you don't get to know if there is an update.

instead of this.

pkgver() {
  cd $_repo
  git describe --long | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
}

it would probably be better to do it like this

pkgver() {
    cd $_repo
    echo "r$(git rev-list --count HEAD).$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
}

This way the version is always coupled and you don't get a message. Also the package can be reported as "outdated" if it is too far away from the master branch. :)

hello @rarick package builds from master, so should have -git suffix. master is a default branch, so #branch=master isn't needed.

I recommend to use namcap for pkgbuild and package linting.
