Hello!

The epoch part ("1:") of the version was dropped in the 2.9.1 bump (2026-04-30), so anyone still on 1:1.60.4-2 gets no updates because now the new versions reads as older:

$ vercmp '1:1.60.4-2' '2.24.4-1' 1

I was able to "upgrade" with an explicit -S, and it shows "downgrading package wakatime (1:1.60.4-2 => 2.24.4-1)".

That has been the case for four months of releases (2.9.1 through 2.24.4) and users on the old version are stuck on a wakatime-cli that predates --sync-ai-activity, so recent editor and agent plugins fail on every heartbeat.

A fix would be to restore the epoch: 2:2.24.4-1

Thanks!

Hi, could you please add support for debug packages as per the Go package guidelines? Also, stripping with makepkg leads to smaller binaries than with -trimpath.

According to my tests, the following changes are enough. Thanks!

This package is also missing download links for other architectures.
