Hi,
at least yay [1] has a feature which does exactly this. It fetches the
upstream repos of VCS packages when it's told to look for updates and
then also suggests updating the VCS packages, if there are new commits
upstream since the last rebuild.
Glad to help

Hello,
I made a suggestion to another arch user which I believe breaks the
rules of the AUR, but I do not see why there can't be an addition to the
AUR to specify if the package is a git package, and if so it fetches the
latest commit hash of the package every x hours and dynamically bumps
it
AUR helpers are generally considered unsupported, however some of them provide
a configuration option to rebuild VCS packages every x days, which solves this
specific issue.
Hello,
So if you are building against static/specific commits, you should bump
the package version every commit, however say if it is an aur package to
just build the latest code in the master branch, you just let it roll
and do not bump the version, correct?
This brings up one question, a l
Hello, there is actually a wiki page covering exactly that at this link:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/VCS_package_guidelines
Hi,
to my knowledge, if it's for an explicit branch, that doesn't change,
you bump pkgrel, to build against updated dependencies.
If you provide a package building the last commit, you usually don't do
anything. If a user does build the package, pkgver does change
automatically. It's an annoyance
If you are building a package that tracks the master branch of git, you
want to build the latest version of it.
You could also track various branches or tags in the package as well. In
each case, the assumption is that you would want to build the latest commit
in that branch.
This is mostly usefu

Hello,
I am pretty new to the AUR, however I have read through the arch wiki
and this question is not really referenced there.
I have seen some -git packages which update the package on each new
commit to master, which is what I thought -git packages should aim to
do, however I have seen oth
