DetailsDescription:
The soname of libdisplay-info is [unstable](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/emersion/libdisplay-info/-/blob/main/meson.build#L76). Currently users that have built aur/hyprland on aur/libdisplay-info-git might face breakage when updating. While those who use the AUR should probably be expected to fix this themselves, it would be better if no manual intervention is needed in this particular case. |

Reason for closing: Implemented
Additional comments about closing: Add explicit tags for future clarity, but there isn't a complete way to fix this because the upstream project doesn't version their library and the existing AUR/VCS package migration isn't 100% fixable, people will have to manually switch.

The fact that the library is unversioned is not something we can fix downstream. The package already does provide the so (see `lib-provides libdisplay-info*.pkg.tar.zst`) and hyprland already does depend on it (see `lib-depends hyprland*.pkg.tar.zst`). I can't help that the AUR & VCS package have similar properties. I bumped the pkgrel ver of both packages so people updating should get newer versions, but if they stay with the VCS ones they are kind of on their own.
