Hi! I have a question regarding https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository#Updating_packages. The package maintainer of https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gdown commented "Please do not flag for rebuilds." and quoted above wiki entry. I flagged gdown because it failed for me. The reason was that it was installed for Python 3.12, and in the meantime Arch was upgraded to 3.13. Of course a simple rebuild fixed the issue for me. But, since I keep my system up to date with yay, a simple increase of pkgrel would have fixed the issue without me noticing.
So here is the question: Wouldn't it be nice of the maintainer to just increase the pkgrel value to force a rebuild on update, even if it's not required? Or is there a deeper reason for the above paragraph? Thanks -- g
