@gaitenis the version given is from the git version; it will update as the branch is updated. The version number you have provided is the release version. I have made a release package that might suit your needs better: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/waybar-niri-taskbar

v0.2.0+niri.25.05-1 is the supposed version, but r33.73db83b-1 is actually installed:

$ yay --search waybar-niri-taskbar-git
1 aur/waybar-niri-taskbar-git v0.2.0+niri.25.05-1 (+0 0.00) (Installed: r33.73db83b-1)
    A simple taskbar for Niri, written in Rust

This causes a bit of annoyance as update checker reports that update for waybar-niri-taskbar-git is available because of version mismatch:

$ pamac-checkupdates
waybar-niri-taskbar-git  r33.73db83b-1 -> v0.2.0+niri.25.05-1

Here are modified pkgver and pkgver() in PKGBUILD to install waybar-niri-taskbar-git with correct version:

pkgver=v0.2.0+niri.25.05
pkgver() {
    cd "${_pkgname}"
    (
        set -o pipefail
        git describe --tags ||
            printf 'r%s.%s' \
                "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" \
                "$(git rev-parse --short=7 HEAD)"
    )
}

Further adjustments may be needed as I am not very familiar with PKGBUILD and the intention of pkgver().
