When fixing a packaging-only defect in a PKGBUILD (e.g. adding a
missing makedepends entry — not a new upstream release), bump
pkgrel, not pkgver. Standard Arch convention: pacman already treats
a pkgrel increase as an upgrade.
This is correct even for -git/VCS packages with a pkgver() function
that recomputes from the current commit at build time: if the
underlying commit hasn’t changed, that function reproduces the same
pkgver string, so nothing needs to be forced there either.
Confirmed with the user 2026-07-07 (asked directly after “if you update
makedepends you also have to increase pkgver” was initially read as a
literal instruction to bump pkgver itself — turned out to mean
pkgrel, which had already been bumped 1->2 for adtpro-git/
c2t-git/etc. while adding a missing makedepends=(git)).
Applied throughout the 2026-07-07 “build all packages for x86_64” pass
for every trivial makedepends fix — see e.g. adtpro-git.md,
c2t-git.md, diskm8-git.md, dos33fsprogs-git.md, dsk2nib-git.md,
libcurlpp-git.md, llvm-mos-git.md, pcmanfm-gtk3.md,
prodos-utilities-git.md.
