  • Tool to hook PKGBUILD rebuild upon dependency update?
    1 project | /r/archlinux | 2 Mar 2022
    I use several packages in the AUR which depend on GCC and oftentimes require rebuilds when GCC is updated. Is there any tool which can automate that? The closest thing I could find is alpm-hooks.5. I also checked out Skycoder42/repkg, but it was buggy and not widely used.
