@graysky: thanks! It works as expected now.

@kyak - updated for you AUR helper junkies

@Wild_Penguin: AUR ate my escapes, thanks for noticing :)

I second kyaks idea. Current Monitorix has a few annoying bugs and I too, use AUR helpers (specifically because I use several PKGBUILDS from AUR).

This example should work and is more in line with VCS package guidelines (which are not official AFAIK nor binding):

git describe --long --tags | sed 's/^v//;s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'

see: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_package_guidelines

(Btw. seems this commenting system removes \ before ( or ) !)

Thanks for your work in any case!

The root cause of the problem is that you are using

git describe --always | sed 's|-|.|g'

to report package version. This returns something like f260e1c, and pacaur gets confused when checking if this git package version has increased or not.

If you were using something like

git describe --long --tags | sed 's/([^-]*-g)/r\1/;s/-/./g'

which returns v3.10.0.r48.gf260e1c, then it would make pacaur happy.

Is it possible that you change it in PKGBUILD?

I don't use AUR helpers so no idea. By definition a VCS package like *-git will update very frequently.

@graysky - I'm bound to using monitorix git version for a while. Is it expected that pacaur reports monitorix-git package as outdated every time and tries to install it? I don't see this behaviour with other *-git packages.
