Fix the pkgrel, it should only contain numbers. It is the version of the PKGBUILD file, and has nothing to do with the application version. pkgver is there for that.

Oups... so I don't know, maybe... could be because I don't receive single mails? I receive a Digest with all the recent mails, and I erased all but the mail I was going to answer... :S I got to say that on the aur-general Archive http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2012-May/ my mails are mostly grouped by thread... so... I don't know... :S

I know that pkgrel is not to do that, but, could you help me then with anything? pkgver should be "0.2.0.1-5Beta", but on pkgver, I can't write more than "0.2", and if the proyect releases (for example) a new version called 0.2.1.0, I shoul let it like 0.2 aswell... what can I do to write the full version path?

Thanks and sorry for breaking messages... I'll look up how not to do that :S

Actually, $pkgver can contain letters. So you can set it as "0.2.0.1.5Beta" or "0.2.0.1Beta5" or something similar without the dash. And then set the proper $pkgrel for your PKGBUILD.
