Hi List,
when I want to install a new version from an already installed AUR package - do I have to remove the old version first, or do I simply follow the same steps as if there would be no old version on my machine and pacman takes care of everything?
You can just install the new version. Pacman takes care of it. But even better would be to use something like packer/yaourt.
packer -Syu --auronly
Packer must be new somehow, did not hear about it before (only about yaourt). So this would render my git-clone of the AUR repo superfluous, because it makes AUR packages as easily installable and updatable like packages form the official repos? -- cheers, Thorsten
