Hm... yaourt annoyingly tried to downgrade the package because it kept setting 2015-something as the version number. I just built the package completely fresh and got 20160831.c883a6b-1 so I guess there is just something wrong with repeatedly building the package from the same directory.

To haagch:
It doesn't matter when package is built because nothing is compiled. So I put commit date of last commit in pkgver because if there was no commits since last build you don't need to rebuild package.
Also in ABS pkgver is described as "Commit date + git rev-parse --short origin/master".

haagch commented on 2016-09-03 11:12

The ABS pkgver actually uses the build date.

Look at it:
Build Date: 2016-07-30 14:25 UTC
linux-firmware 20160730.6bc2c60-1

So pkgver should be something like this:

pkgver() {
# Mimics ABS pkgver described like this:
# Build date + git rev-parse --short origin/master
cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"
echo "$(date +%Y%m%d).$(git rev-parse --short master)"
}

One a typo:

conflicts=('linux-firmware-git'

Should be

conflicts=('linux-firmware'

and list so on

The fact that this package can't be built in paths with spaces is an upstream issue.
Version number is created as described in ABS PKGBUILD file: 'Commit date + git rev-parse --short origin/master'.
Version number of this package is similar to version number of official package because it does the same thing as the official one.

This package can't build in paths with spaces. Btw, how is the package version number derived and does it really make sense to use it? People might get confused about what they are getting.

Disowned linux-git and linux-firmware-git.

What's the point of this PKGBUILD? The package in [core] is git-based.

xduugu commented on 2013-04-09 20:25

Updated. Thanks.

Please update the PKGBUILD to make use of pacman 4.1 CVS PKGBUILD features. Here's one I made earlier, feel free to use it: https://raw.github.com/WorMzy/PKGBUILDs/master/linux-firmware-git-PKGBUILD
