PS:
I've got a question regarding the jack2-git package from AUR.
The maintainer does use
$ git rev-list --count master
3425
[1], but IMO pkgver should be
$ git describe|sed -r 's/^v//;s/([^-]*-g)/r\1/;s/-/./g'
1.9.10.r177.g7bdad49
since this is the correct version number, as used by
https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/jack2/ .
Is there no recommendation what to use for AUR PKGBUILD pkgver?
Regards,
Ralf

"pkgver() {
  cd jack2
  # get a plain number
  echo $(git rev-list --count master) 
}" - https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=jack2-git
That is a super-ugly pkgver which is only supposed to be used as a
method of last resort for packages that have *no* normal pkgver.

You should suggest that the AUR maintainer fix the pkgver (and add an
epoch).
