Version Number Problems

I'm making a package that will update itself (lazy, I know, but it's faster and easier).

However, the version would need to be something like:

pkgver=`lynx --dump "http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/LATEST"`

Which is too long for the AUR.

And I can't think of any ways that will make it work how I want to.

Help anyone?

Re: Version Number Problems

Why don't you use a -svn / -git or some other dev package?
If you use such a pacage it will check for the newest revision and use it in the pkgver.

But it isn't SVN or GIT or anything.

It's just like http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snap … nux/12005/

_pkgver=`lynx --dump "http://build.chromium.org/buildbot/snapshots/chromium-rel-linux/LATEST"`
pkgver="$_pkgver"
