[SOLVED] Can't update version numbering scheme using epoch

Initially when posting package on aur i made a mistake, even tho i read on wiki that i shouldn't be using version prefixed with 'v', but it was late in the night and i posted with initial version of a package to be 'v2.1.0.r14.g946b1ff-1'.

Later i decided to change the version numbering scheme with epoch field, so i added 'epoch=1' to PKGBUILD, pushed it to aur, but version didn't change. I thought to myself 'ok, maybe next time when i push with new version it's gonna update', but no, today i updated package verison yet again and it still shows up the very first version.

What am i missing? Link to the aur package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rofi … ayland-git

Re: [SOLVED] Can't update version numbering scheme using epoch

Did you regenerate .SRCINFO after making the changes to the PKGBUILD ?


Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Re: [SOLVED] Can't update version numbering scheme using epoch

FYI, you did not need to use an epoch.

❯ vercmp v2.1.0.r14.g946b1ff-1 2.1.0.r14.g946b1ff-1
-1

Notice that the old version with the v prefix is older than without.

❯ vercmp --help
vercmp (pacman) v6.0.2

Compare package version numbers using pacman's version comparison logic.

Usage: vercmp <ver1> <ver2>

Output values:
  < 0 : if ver1 < ver2
    0 : if ver1 == ver2
  > 0 : if ver1 > ver2

By the way, since no one probably even noticed, you can just remove the epoch.
