auracle Check -git package outdate?

Can you add this to auracle?

No they can't, the aur doesn't keep version information about git packages, it is calculated on the fly.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if a critical update exists in a -git package the maintainer would generally bump the pkgrel, so the update is seen by the users.

But in that case auracle should already be able to detect it, right?

Jul 05 '22 19:07 ThePirate42

If the pkgrel has been bumped, auracle should report an update

Jul 05 '22 19:07 rellieberman

Exactly, I think we are saying the same thing.

Jul 05 '22 19:07 ThePirate42

I mean that if pkgrel is updated in the PKGBUILD, then auracle picks it up already

Jul 05 '22 20:07 rellieberman

Yes, exactly, I agree

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if a critical update exists in a -git package the maintainer would generally bump the pkgrel, so the update is seen by the users.

The maintainer would build and install a new package including the critical update, thereby bumping the pkgver, and could then commit and push the changes.

-git packages not often change pkgrel for its git update.

This is the only reason hold me back from use auracle totally for aur packages. I currently use paru to track -git packages and auracle as a backup.

when tracking git packages you want to update every new commit?

Jul 07 '22 18:07 rellieberman

I want to know if there's new commit to the repo, so I can decide to update it manually via makepkg or not.

You could track their feeds, eg. https://github.com/falconindy/auracle/commits/master.atom.

No, I want auracle to keep track of all aur packages that ended with -git when there's new commit to the repo that -git packages based from.
