I love how the response to a complaint about unreproducible builds without any versions being specified is an install script that straight up clones the "current commit" of a Git repo instead of a specific working commit id or tag.

Astonishing.

There's some truth to the "Arch" philosophy for some types of software it's actually more stable to just pull from master.

Not in this case. I’ve tried several repos and they all fail with various version mismatch issues.
