Why AUR ffmpeg-git better than tar.xz? Is it automatically upgradeable?
I hate wasting resources for building, but i guess i would have to do it, i seen that some AUR packages not needed to build, it was kind of prebuild or something, though i am unsure how to discover from pamac output if certain package is in such state.
If you install a package from outside of the repo (official or AUR), managing package upgrades becomes a pain and annoying. Also, if you install a package from outside of a repo, you’re going to have to find out and install all of the correct dependencies yourself, including the correct versions of packages and libraries if it requires a specific version number or range as dependencies.
Alternatively, since you seem to want to use ffmpeg directly, you could simply clone the code and build it locally, without installing. Then you can call that built application directly ($ ./ffmpeg) instead of the installed one ($ ffmpeg).
Because ffmpeg-git will build from the latest git commit, also the ffmpeg git repository is also official
You mean the energy used for compiling or something else?
That is because they repacked a prebuild binary
You need to read directly the pkgbuild
Pro tip for managing and update your AUR packages: use buildpkg for clean build packages and make your local repository with a static web server like darkhttpd
