I'm seeing the same behaviour @Yamashiro mentioned. I think it's because they're inconsistently tagging things

0.5.4
0.6.0
1.0
1.01
1.3.5
V1.1
V1.2
V1.3
V1.3.2
V1.3.3
V1.3.4
v0.5.0
v0.5.1
v0.5.2
v0.5.3
v0.5.4
v1.3.1
v1.3.6

Running git describe --long --tags | sed 's/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g' results in v1.3.6 and I'm guessing comparing that to the pkgver results in it being seen as older than 1.3.5 due to the surprise v.

Changing pkgver() to use git describe --long --tags | sed 's/^v//I;s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g' seems to fix it. That cuts off the v prefix if it exists and makes it case-insensitive using the I modifier so it works for V too.

$ echo '1.3.5' | sed 's/^v//I;s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
1.3.5
$ echo 'v1.3.6' | sed 's/^v//I;s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
1.3.6
$ echo 'V1.3.6' | sed 's/^v//I;s/\([^-]*-g\)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
1.3.6

With the latest commit to the upstream repository this package now seems to want to upgrade every time even when already on the latest version already, when using paru at least. In fact, it seems it wants to downgrade the package: 1:v1.3.6.r0.g240bd0e-1 => 1:1.3.5.r0.g065e3d1-1.

@alphazo, can you incorporate the suggestion from @adriatic from 2024-02-19 in your package?

Regards!

adriaticc commented on 2024-02-19 08:36 (UTC)

@dreieck you should be able to safely symlink librtlsdr.so.2 to the produced library. in other words adding something like the following to the end of the package() function:

ln -s librtlsdr.so "${pkgdir}/usr/lib/librtlsdr.so.2"

the library version is based on the output of git describe and the rtl-sdr-blog fork uses different git tags so the versions look entirely different but in practice they don't seem to have truly diverged just yet (ymmv!)

This package seems not to be a drop-in replacement for the package rtl-sdr:
With rtl-sdr-blog-git, build of gnss-sdr-git fails with linking errors like 

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libgnuradio-osmosdr.so: undefined reference to `rtlsdr_get_xtal_freq'

(See ↗ this comment in the package gnss-sdr-git from 2024-02-15 for complete error report.)

Installing rtl-sdr from the Arch repositories makes gnss-sdr-git building.

When I after that switch back to rtl-sdr-blog-git, launching gnss-sdr-git fails with 

gnss-sdr: error while loading shared libraries: librtlsdr.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Regards!
