That is why we only display a warning and do not automatically disable the feature for VCS packages. Read the comments in FS#62733 for details.

Is it not obvious/precise enough? Well I think it should instead be used for such bugs in the case of VCS packages, because those are the only cases where they can be OOD, and in contrary to normal packages those are valid OOD reasons. And that is the case for the linked package in the FS ticket. But I acknowledge this is not what we say currently, though I would use the opportunity of that addition to change the guidelines regarding this. And then I’m in favour of saying so in the message: “This is a VCS package. Please do not flag it out-of-date if the package version in the AUR does not match the most recent commit. Flagging this package should only be done if the sources moved or changes in the PKGBUILD are required because of recent upstream changes.” >>> +/** >>> + * Determine whether a package base is (or contains a) VCS package >>> + * >>> + * @param int $base_id The ID of the package base >>> + * >>> + * @return bool True if the package base is/contains a VCS package >>> + */ >>> +function pkgbase_is_vcs($base_id) { >>> + $suffixes = array("-cvs", "-svn", "-git", "-hg", "-bzr", "-darcs"); >> What about false positives and missing items like -nightly’s?

All I’ve read was the same thing as before regarding the impossibility to correctly detect all VCS packages and just them, but I did not see why manual override wouldn’t be an option. ;) Regarding false positives, without override possibility they will be misleading to users, so I don’t agree on “it’s OK because we are not plainly disabling the feature”. Also for me the strongest reason to not disable the feature for VCS packages is rather because it is still useful even for those, as stated by Eli. :) Regards, Bruno

I would prefer to keep this very simple. That message is just for convenience and not really an essential part of the AUR.

That could work, yes. Let’s do this. ;) > I would prefer to keep this very simple. That message is just for > convenience and not really an essential part of the AUR. I definitively understand that. :)
