Thanks for the work! I patched the PKGBUILD.

The versioning mechanism does not work when sources are present:

  • Suppose PKGBUILD contains pkgver=0.789 after the git pull.
  • FatBoy-latest.7z is already present, contains the old version 0.786.
  • No checksum gets checked, so the outdated archive is accepted and extracted.
  • pkgver() runs, correctly discovers the old version 0.786 and changes the PKGBUILD back to that.
  • No update gets downloaded.
  • The old package with the old version is rebuilt, which is pointless.

This has actually happened here.

The underlying cause is that there is no automatic way to detect when the downloaded source archive is out of date.

I have therefore switched to manual versioning.

Besides, the install comand needs -m644 to disable x permissions.

Looks like a bug in the pacman package. It was fixed in pacman 5.2.1 https://git.archlinux.org/pacman.git/tree/NEWS
