Hi :)
I wonder if warnings like
# pacman -Syu warning: qtractor: local (0.5.3.15-2684) is newer than community (0.5.3-1) warning: rtirq: local (20111007-1) is newer than archaudio-preview (20090920-1)
are useful? Once there will be more packages, it will become uncomfortable to read more important output.
2 Cents,
Ralf
This is a pretty significant warning though, that -Syu might lead to a library upgrade that breaks the apparently newer than in repo version of your application or other unwanted situations. Something is non-standard, pacman is warning you of this. Having said that, I'd like to add that cherry-picking updates is generally a bad idea. You should stick to repository updates unless you have a very good reason to cherry pick.
