Hey, I just saw these comments. I am sorry for the misleading expectations.

The pkgver function exists because the version in ./build.sh --version is authoritative for the application. I didn't want to ever have the possibility of there being a version mismatch between the package itself and the application.

The application itself is incomplete, which is why I created this package based on my development branch. Once the tag v0.4.0 is released, this package will use git tags exclusively. Then, I will introduce snapx-git & snapx-ui-git for any users interested in following the development branch.

Thank you for the feedback, it helps improve the package.

PKGBUILD is broken, need to replace this line in pkgver():

   echo "${ver//+/.}"

with

   echo "${ver//[+-]/.}"

most importantly, the package describes itself as 0.3.0, but it's actually pulling the latest git commit. which is obviously wrong. there SHOULDN'T be any pkgver() function at all, and the source should point to the generated tarball by git:

source=("SnapX-${pkgver}.tar.gz::https://github.com/BrycensRanch/SnapX/archive/${pkgver}.tar.gz")

see the trizen AUR package for an example of this in practice.

I also can't seem to install this properly, and it just segfaults on startup.
