Running
cower -ud
it says I need to update my linux-zen kernel from
pkgver=0e5ee3e-1 to pkgver=5a602db-1.
When I download the PKGBUILD, it has the new pkgver defined in it, but then
makepkg
reverts the pkgver variable within the PKGBUILD to 0e5ee3e-1 and the in the prepare stage of the make process it says that I am already up to date. Of course, after compiling and installing the package, cower still says it needs to be updated because the kernel string is showing that I still have the 0e5ee3e-1 kernel installed. My questions:
Is there actually an update? If so, how do I get the package to update? If there is no update, how can I get cower (and yaourt) to stop saying there is an update?

I'll check the PKGBUILD in a moment, but have you tried using the precompiled linux-zen 3.12.8+2728+g0e5ee3e-1 from heftig unofficial repo https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … ies#heftig ?

No, I haven't been using any precompiled kernels. I have a set .config which I use to compile the kernel each time.

The PKGBUILD seems to be wrong based on:
$ git ls-remote git://github.com/damentz/zen-kernel.git HEAD
0e5ee3e37ee808ab7b4210eaa3826804f6a949aa HEAD

Ask the AUR maintainer to fix the package.

Thanks, I'll direct his attention to this thread.

The pkger function is not good enough. Maybe do something like this:
pkgver() {
cd "${srcdir}/$_gitname"
eval $(grep -o "^\(VERSION\|PATCHLEVEL\|SUBLEVEL\) = [0-9a-zA-Z_-]\+" Makefile | tr -d \ )
printf "%s.%s.%s+%s+g%s" $VERSION $PATCHLEVEL $SUBLEVEL "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
}

It looks like 3.13/master is now the base branch: https://github.com/damentz/zen-kernel/branches
Claire is fine.
Problems? I have dysgraphia, so clear and concise please.

Added to the build, I never noticed that - thank you!
