I have a question about pkgrel and git commits in the AUR. Should I update pkgrel every time I make a commit and don't change pkgver? I use aurpublish to manage my packages and I have some commits that don't change pkgrel because I don't publish these commits. I don't see a problem doing it this way because people who build from intermediate commits should know what they are doing, but I don't know if there are any guidelines on it. If pkgrel should be updated, then maybe the aurpublish hooks should enforce this. Best Regards, Alexander Fasching
