Suggestions:
1. Rename all your packages appropriately (e.g. append -heresy or -nodbus or -whatever). This way your packages won't get unistalled if they lag behind the official ones.
No, this isn't how pacman works. If his repo comes before the official ones in pacman.conf, it will override them regardless of version comparisons.
I know, but why would anyone in their right mind put some tro^Wguy's custom repo _before_ the official ones, especially when the provided packages are not the nightly builds of <insert_your_fav_app> but ones like xorg-server?
In the preceding conversations some have said they would. The whole point of his repo is to maintain separate versions of xorg-server sans some bloat.
