Re: [aur-general] What is pkgrel and why/how should I use it?

Hi Georg, thank you for your reply. If I am understanding correctly, pkgrel is for changes to the PKGBUILD, and pkgver is for changes to the actual sources. Is this correct? Yash On 3/3/20, Georg <g.schlisio@dukun.de> wrote:

Hi Yash, and welcome to archlinux. pkgrel is the internal revision of the package, e.g. the packaging version. This allows improvements on the package without bumping the software release version and is often used for binary rebuild to adapt to changed dependencies etc. Georg
