This is necessary for Lattice iCEcube, which does not currently have an AUR package (but does not necessarily need to be installed globally anyway). The package name follows the arch packaging guidelines: | As such, in cases where software can not trivially keep rolling alongside | its dependencies, package names should carry the major version suffix (e.g. | gtk2, gtk3, qt4, qt5). For cases where most dependencies can keep rolling | along the newest release but some cannot (for instance closed source that | needs libpng12 or similar), a deprecated version of that package might be | called libfoo1 while the current version is just libfoo. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Package_naming --Sean
