AUR web interface shows wrong package information.

I just created a new package. Here it is.

As you may notice, the information displayed does not make sense.

1. Version should be 0, as it is derived from `git` situation.
2. The description is clearly wrong.

These values actually were in place while I was drafting the PKGBUILD (I used 1oom-git as a prototype), but I amended them before pushing. I even pushed a minor change specifically to see if the information displayed in the web interface would reflect the change. You can see for yourself if you clone the repository.

Re: AUR web interface shows wrong package information.

You did not regenerate .SRCINFO after altering the PKGBUILD.

Re: AUR web interface shows wrong package information.

The version number looks correct.  You can remove the empty 'conflicts' array when you update it.

Thank you!

I did not know it is .SRCINFO that the values to be displayed in the web interface come from.

Re: AUR web interface shows wrong package information.

I tried building it in a clean chroot it fails due to missing dependency on libxkbcommon.
Adding that it built but without RELRO due to the Makefile overriding LDFLAGS and without FORTIFY_SOURCE as CFLAGS are also overridden.
Edit:
added libxkbcommon to depends,  added havoc to conflicts,  use sed to modify Makefiles to extend CFLAGS and LDFLAGS rather than override them,  installed MIT based license.
