Feature to update a package whenever there is a change in pkgver
in it's PKGBUILD, regardless of whether it is numerically smaller than local.
#2565
Labels
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Yay refuses to update packages when
pkgver
is numerically lower than the installed version, which is problematic whenpkgver
represents a commit hash.For instance
zen-twilight-bin
won't update sometimes-> zen-twilight-bin: local (859ff6c-1) is newer than AUR (24fec75-1)
Describe the solution you'd like
Provide with a feature to update certain packages when
pkgver
changes in the PKGBUILD, even when the new version is numerically lower than the installed one.For example
yay --always-update=zen-twilight-bin --save
, which would ignore the version number and updatezen-twilight-bin
if thepkgver
in AUR is different than local.Describe alternatives you've considered
A temporary workaround is to reinstall the package manually.
