[SOLVED] Version number not correctly bumped

Hi, I am the maintainer of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8 … -dkms-git/. This afternoon I pushed a new version, with an incremented pkgver number. Although the file is correctly shown in logs, and that people are able to install it, the AUR page (and API) still shows the old version. Am I doing anything wrong?

Also see my sig for a good way to handle this automatically.

Also, as that package is a *-git package which builds from the current git HEAD of a repository branch, you need to include a pkgver() function to describe the version you are building.

e.g. for a repo without tags,

pkgver() {
    cd rtl8812au
    printf '%s.r%s.g%s' '5.2.9' "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
}
