Thank you @dreieck! I have updated the package to the latest upstream version and made the recommended improvements to the PKGBUILD.

Ahoj,

  1. you download the source file to a generic filename: v${pkgver}.tar.gz. This is prone to comflicts if $SRCDEST is used (e.g. set in /etc/makepkg.conf), where all downloaded sources end up in the same directory: If another package does the same, and the versions coincide, there is a file conflict.
    Please make the downloaded filename specific to this package, e.g. by prepending ${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz:: to the source array entry:
    source=("${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.gz::https://github.com/${pkgname}/${pkgname}/archive/v${pkgver}.tar.gz").

  2. The license identifier needs to be updated to be SPDX compliant:
    vcftools E: LGPL3 is not a valid SPDX license identifier. See https://spdx.org/licenses/ for valid identifiers, or prefix the identifier with 'LicenseRef-', if it is custom.
    Use LGPL-3.0-or-later or LGPL-3.0-only, whatever is applicable.

Regards and thanks for this package!

Lets see what they are saying: https://github.com/vcftools/vcftools/issues/20

Yes, I have seen that, too. I honestly don't know, why they tagged it as a pre-release version and not chose to name it like 0.1.14rc1. Maybe it's because of the autotools changes and they wanted to wait for user feedback if something does not work as expected.

@wookietreiber: Thanks for the dedication on updating, but 0.1.14 is a pre-release version... IMO it's best to wait for the release version.

Updated.

See https://github.com/wookietreiber/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/vcftools/PKGBUILD for an up to date PKGBUILD. If you are OK with it, you can also add me as a maintainer for this AUR package and I'll update the PKGBUILD myself.
