flux-bin: PKGBUILD uses an outdated _srcver, installing the 2.8.6

I believe there is an issue with the current flux-bin PKGBUILD.

The package version (pkgver) has been updated to 2.9.2, but the _srcver variable still points to 2.8.6. As a result, the PKGBUILD downloads and installs the 2.8.6 binary instead of the expected 2.9.2 release.

Please use code & /code tags for such output  , see https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

It looks like you're right, please add a comment about this to flux-bin aur page.
(AUR registration should work again)

Thank you for the helpful guidance.

I've added the appropriate tags to my post (I hope I did it correctly). I hadn't realized that AUR registration was enabled. I was looking for a way to report the issue and eventually found this forum. I've also left a comment on the `flux-bin` AUR page. Thanks again for your help!
