Optimus-manager is always updated in AUR even when it shouldn't with "yay"

[NerosTie]

The packages manager "yay" (command: yay -Syu --devel) always see a commit and it tries to update it even if there is no commit.

It's probably a mistake in the PKGBUILD see here: Jguer/yay#691

(Same message posted on AUR, if someone know how to fix that)

If I understand correctly, this command is supposed to pull the latest master from git, ignoring the tags each release is pinned to ?

If it doesn't work, then honestly I don't know how to fix it. The PKGBUILD syntax looks correct, so this may be a bug in yay.

I have many packages using git as a source installed from AUR and optimus-manager is the only one with this issue. So I don't think it's a bug with yay.

This command is supposed to update a package if there is a new commit in the case it's a "pckgname-git" in AUR or if there is a new release for a "pckgname" package. If not, do nothing.

I think you want optimus-manager to be updated only if there is a new release.
But here, the package is reinstalled every time.

I think the source should be something like this:

source=("https://github.com/Askannz/optimus-manager/archive/v$pkgver.tar.gz")

It looks like it's fixed, I don't even know why 🤷‍♂️
