From the comment below I see the package was flagged fairly recently, maybe because of the following problem (and which might be the missing details the maintainer was requesting):

/home/[user]/.cache/yay/delta/PKGBUILD: line 17: cd: /home/[user]/.cache/yay/delta/src/delta-2006.08.03/: No such file or directory ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting... -> error making: delta-exit status 4 -> Failed to install the following packages. Manual intervention is required: delta - exit status 4

For anyone searching for a quick fix:

mv /home/[user]/.cache/yay/delta/src/delta /home/[user]/.cache/yay/delta/src/delta-2006.08.03 cd /home/[user]/.cache/yay/delta makepkg -si

Unflagged this because it still builds and installs fine for me. If there is really an issue I need more details.

Currently failing to compile: https://github.com/dandavison/delta/issues/1510

If you're looking for the delta which is a git diff replcement (https://github.com/dandavison/delta) then you want to install either git-delta or git-delta-git

I thought this was the new diff replacement I was hearing about, but it turns out I want: git-delta-bin

Use this as a PKGBUILD:

# Maintainer: Merkil <merkil@savhon.org>

pkgname=delta
pkgver=20060803
pkgrel=2
dapkgver=2006.08.03
license=('BSD')
url="https://github.com/mpflanzer"
pkgdesc="An useful tool that lets you minimize interesting files subject to a test of their interestingness."
arch=(i686 x86_64)
depends=('perl')
makedepends=('make' 'gcc' 'flex' 'curl')
source=("git+https://github.com/mpflanzer/delta.git#branch=master")
sha1sums=('SKIP')

build() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}/"
  make clean
  make || return 1
  make check || return 1
}

package() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${pkgname}/"
  install -Dm 755 ./topformflat "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/topformflat"
  install -Dm 755 ./delta "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/delta"
  install -Dm 755 ./multidelta "${pkgdir}/usr/bin/multidelta"
  install -Dm 644 ./License.txt "${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}/License.txt"
}

@sebo: Pushed an update that sets DLAGENTS like you suggested (using curl though). Thanks!

sebo commented on 2016-05-14 21:22 (UTC)

I don't know if there are any adverse affects from this, but adding wget as a dependency and adding a DLAGENTS variable to the PKGBUILD will resolve the redirect loop issue for all users I believe. patch: https://da.gd/AXhhn

sebo commented on 2016-05-08 16:35 (UTC)

Nevermind, found another workaround. Inserting 'http::/usr/bin/wget -O %o %u' at the top of DLAGENTS resolved the issue for me.

sebo commented on 2016-05-08 16:29 (UTC)

I got into a redirect loop I think. Putting 'http::http::/usr/bin/curl -qb - --retry 3 --retry-delay 3 -o %o %u' in DLAGENTS did not resolve the issue. Because I then get complaints about curl not being installed for some reason. What exactly does your DLAGENTS look like?
