Description:

The pkgrel of groovy was decreased from 2 to 1 in git commit 0054a8dae002 (svn-to-git).
Please don't do that. Either the built package was already pkgrel=1, then you should keep attention, that the source matches the package, or it was already published as pkgrel=2, then you'll break the version comparison in pacman and users won't fetch the new version.

In any case, this breaks downstream distributions (like archlinux32), who assume increasing package epoch-version-pkgrel combinations.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
groovy 2.4.13-2 vs. groovy 2.4.13-1
This task depends upon

The package was only pushed to [community] with an increasing pkgrel, but I'll keep archlinux32 in mind in the future.
