Any reason for still having the _git* variables? They make the PKGBUILD a
bit harder to read and seem sort of unnecessary since they're only used
once.

Hi,
Please merge syslinux-bios-elflink-git [1] and syslinux-efi-git
[2]
into syslinux-firmware-git [3]. Thanks in advance. [1]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/syslinux-bios-elflink-git/
[2]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/syslinux-efi-git/
[3]: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/syslinux-firmware-git/ Best Regards. Keshav Padram Merged. Thanks What is the difference between the firmware and master branches?
Unless differences are huge, seems to me that the syslinux-git
package
with
an optional branch tag (using the new source array for vcs packages)
would
suffice. The differences are huge. The master branch contains code for syslinux
4.XX
(which is in maintenance mode). The elflink branch contains code for
syslinux 5.XX which changed the internal structure of syslinux to use
ELF
modules in preparation for EFI support in 6.XX . The firmware branch
contains syslinux 6.XX code which introduces EFI support and contains
is
written on top of elflink branch. The new syslinux-firmware-git pkg now
contains both bios and efi modules built from firmware branch (as the
name
implies), even for bios modules as the code form elfink branch is
anyway
part of firmware branch. I see, thx for the explanation! You might want to update your PKGBUILD
for
pacman 4.1 then, see
herehttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VCS_PKGBUILD_Guidelinesfor
a good overview on how to do it. The PKGBUILD (
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sy/syslinux-firmware-git/PKGBUILD )
already
uses makepkg 4.1 features wrt git checkout in sources=() array and pkgver()
function.
