Hi, Trusted User here speaking officially.

ilpianista is correct here. You must not use pkgver() like this under any circumstances; as it is, this PKGBUILD and many other PKGBUILDs you maintain are in strict violation of the packaging standards. Please fix them immediately.

If you want to keep track of new versions, I recommend you use something like nvchecker to scrape github for new versions of many packages at once, and a personal script which runs sed to insert the updated version into the PKGBUILD.

Found lychee-4.0.5.tar.gz

...

Making package: lychee 4.0.8-1

Please fix your PKGBUILD :)

yes you're right ;)

and which defeat the purpose of a checksum check in the first place..

you can update the checksum with the command: updpkgsums

before running makepkg, so it will auto-update version and checksum

Here is how I do it: https://github.com/FanchTheSystem/Aur-Include/blob/e8478060d44971f558cdab280f1f1a7129ff9e09/aur.include.sh#L47

I got it, but you still have to update the checksum in the PKGBUILD (in the case of a newer version) so I don't see the advantage here.

ah ah evil is every where :)

pkgver is used to auto use and update the last availlable version ;)

Also, please update the website, it's: https://lycheeorg.github.io/

Works. Thanks

==> Starting pkgver()...
==> ERROR: pkgver is not allowed to be empty.
==> ERROR: pkgver() generated an invalid version:

Also, I found this to be really evil. If I read a package version in the PKGBUILD, I expect this PKGBUILD to build that version, not a random one.
