Re: Updating aur packages when its shared library dependencies gets update

Somebody probably has a better answer, but to force the package to build anew, I'd just delete the old directory you cloned to and clone again. Then makepkg and pacman -U package_file again. That should build the package and install it again, using the updated shared libraries.

That said, I don't know if this is needed, or even desirable, unless you're having problems running the AUR package?

Re: Updating aur packages when its shared library dependencies gets update

I assume you want to automatically update/rebuild the AUR package whenever pacman updates a package that provides a library that the AUR package depends on?
=> https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#Hooks

Otherwise please be more elaborative about the actual task.

This might do the trick:

It's not on the AUR anymore, though. I wonder what happened.

Edit: There is more...

aurebuildcheck-rs-git
findbrokenpkgs
repkg

Re: Updating aur packages when its shared library dependencies gets update

I continue to be amazed to learn about programs like this, years after beginning to use Arch.
Outstanding.

Added a wiki reference to this package here:
