I know that you've changed makepkg to not bump pkgver by itself on vsc-builds anymore and instead let a pkgver() function be used for that instead, but then either there's a bug in the '--holdver' option, since it dosen't work anymore, or else you have just forgot to remove that option from the manpage if it's unsupported after the pkgver() change?

Just wanted to report it to you :)

Thanks in advance.

From e man page:

--holdver
When using VCS sources (PKGBUILD(5)) any currently checked out
source will not be updated to the latest revision.

What exactly does not work from that description?

I apologise! I was on the net at the time, and so when i checked the man, I did that also from the net(from arch's makepkg man page online) and where the old entry was still listed...

Sorry again about that :)
