[SOLVED] [REQUEST] PKGBUILD for evolus/pencil development branch

Hi all,

I think I have tried all 3 existing packages in the AUR for evolus/pencil:

• evolus-pencil-bin

• evolus-pencil-git

• pencil

I had an issue with all of them, which I have reported on GitHub. The issue is not fixed in a release or even in the master branch but in the development branch. This applies to other issues since there are no commits and releases since 2017:
https://github.com/evolus/pencil/commits/master

I thought this project was dead but the development continues in the development branch:
https://github.com/evolus/pencil/commits/development
It would be great if someone of the 3 package maintainers or someone else could provide a PKGBUILD for evolus/pencil development branch.

Thanks!

You can change the git package to use the development branch VCS_package_guidelines#VCS_sources

diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD
