My guess is that devtools should depend on svn, hg, git and bzr, or sources shouldn't be downloaded outside chroot.

If your PKGBUILD uses git it should have a makedepends on git.

look at community/ogre - it has mercurial in makedepends, but still fails.
Comment by Pierre Schmitz (Pierre) - Wednesday, 30 August 2017, 10:43 GMT
Well, looks like makepkg tries to download the sources before installing the makedepends. I am not sure if that is intended. I'd say:
* make makepkg install its deps before downloading the sources
* have devtools depend on every supported vcs
* introduce something like srcdepends :-)

I think, the 2nd solution is the best:
It's the least invasive one and brings the fewest changes to running systems, since everyone seems to have all vcs installed anyway (at least it took quite long for this issue to pop up).
But the other solutions sound reasonable, too :-)
