Feature request: Recompile aur packages that depend on updated packages (dependent recompilation)

[TheK0tYaRa]

$ pikaur -Vq
Pikaur v1.27
Pacman v6.1.0 - libalpm v14.0.0 - pyalpm v0.10.6

Description:

For example recently hyprland-git had a dependency update, aquamarine-git, which required the recompilation of hyprland-git for hyprland to run. That is one of many examples why it is needed. I just don't have many personally.

such situations should be handled by packager by using versioned dependencies or adding post-upgrade hook

It seems that a hook can't run pacman or something that runs pacman as it runs into the lockfile. Unfortunate.

Please reconsider the feature request as it's kinda impossible to do via hooks. A notification that the package broke doesn't really cut it. Observe my cursed, broken hook:

[Trigger]
Operation = Upgrade
Type = Package
Target = aquamarine-git
Target = hyprutils-git
Target = hyprcursor-git
Target = hyprlang-git

[Action]
Description = Recompile hyprland with current aquamarine
When = PostTransaction
Depends = hyprland
Exec = /usr/bin/sudo -u thek0tyara pikaur -Sa hyprland-git --rebuild --noconfirm

[actionless]

yeah, that's the expected behavior
