Please remove -${pkgver}-${pkgrel} from the git clone folder name.

Thanks, but I don't think I'm creating version mismatches or breaking the rules for the AUR or the official Arch packages. If you pay attention, even officially supported packages often ignore prefixes or suffixes that developers can add to the version. Don't worry about it.

As for hicolor-icon-theme, that comes as a best-practice recommendation of Arch, and it was brought to my attention by scanning the package with namcap.

(Bearing in mind that not everything namcap says is definitively right, but in this case it correctly reported what's required by Arch guidelines in this matter.)

The versioning mismatch you've chosen to create is not a big issue as far as I'm personally concerned.

But keep in mind that Arch and the AUR has their own set of rules. Package maintenance here is a public service and there is no place for private technical principles or beliefs that diverge from or contradict those rules.

Thanks, added hicolor-icon-theme to dependencies even though this dependency was not mentioned by the current developer. You are right, semver is not required, but I prefer to keep it always. I don't think this is a problem.

Arch and AUR does not follow semver. See here under '-S, --sync' / Alphanumeric about valid version strings.

Also the package needs depends=('hicolor-icon-theme').

Hi, @MarsSeed, 0.4.14alpha is not compliant with semver (https://semver.org/) and 0.4.14-alpha is not allowed by the AUR. I added this to the description as a compromise.

Hi,

The version is not set correctly. Current version is 0.4.14alpha. Please kindly fix it. :)
