Thanks!

@kseistrup: Yes, it picked up the short commit hash as version number. Should be fixed now, at least it works with yay.

The version thing is still wrong: current AUR repos is v2.0.0.rc3.63046ae9-1 and current git version tuirns out as v2.0.0.rc3.00205aa6-1, so any package manager will assume that the package needs an update no matter how many time you install it.

The pkgver function needs to make a monotonously increasing version string. At the moment it doesn't because the next to last component is a random hex string in the interval 00000000-ffffffff.

Same for aurutils:

==> Using [loonix] repository
  -> micro-git: v2.0.0.rc2.1dc1c655-1 -> v2.0.0.rc2.97ee3442-1
==> Retrieving package files
From https://aur.archlinux.org/micro-git
 = [up to date]      master     -> origin/master
==> WARNING: skipping built package (use -f to overwrite)
/var/cache/pacman/loonix/micro-git-v2.0.0.rc2.1dc1c655-1-x86_64.pkg.tar

There is something wrong: No matter how many times I install this package, yay wants to build a new package because it thinks the installed packge is older:

1  aur/micro-git  v2.0.0.rc2.1dc1c655-1 -> v2.0.0.rc2.97ee3442-1

v2.0.0.rc2.1dc1c655-1 is what pkgver() produces.

conflicts=('micro-bin' 'micro' 'micro-nightly-bin') provides=('micro')

You should add these lines to reduce conflict with all the other micro packages.

Please try below - small chances removed symlinks and make install add tr from below comment from kseistrup changed path to suit

pkgver() {
    cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"
    echo "$(git tag | sort -V | tail -1).$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)" | tr '-' '.'
}

build(){
 cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}"
 export GOBIN="$GOPATH/bin"
 make
}

package(){
 install -Dm755 $srcdir/$pkgname/micro "$pkgdir/usr/bin/micro"
 install -Dm644 $srcdir/$pkgname/LICENSE "$pkgdir/usr/share/licenses/$pkgname/LICENSE"
}

The hyphen is not the only problem:

If I add a “tr '-' '.'” to the pkgver() function, then makepkg doesn't complain about the package version, but it will fail during build():

==> Starting pkgver()...
==> Updated version: micro-git v2.0.0.rc1.b1efabaa-1
==> Starting build()...
ln: failed to create symbolic link 'src/github.com/zyedidia/micro': No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

Currently the new 2.0 release candidate cannot be installed. I am not sure though if it is the naming convention of the release candidate with a '-'. Could get automatically resolved once the final 2.0 release gets published.
