[arch-general] warning: foobar: local (1.0.0-2) is newer than community (1.0.0-1)
Regarding to my AUR cache [1], it seems to be common practise, that packages that moved from AUR to community get a lower "pkgrel="-value. IMO that is very annoying and doesn't make sense. I don't want to reinstall software that does work and I dislike to get tons of warnings. Why is this the common approach? Regards, Ralf PS: I'll send it to Arch and AUR general. [1] $ ls /var/cache/aur/foobar*

Because in the other hand, it wouldn't also have sense to have a foobar 1.0.0-2 in the arch repos and SVN without the 1.0.0-1 in the history. Just my 0.02 $

Unlikely that upstream has got a git/svn mentioning a distro's package release ;).

Resetting the pkgrel is indeed wrong. pkgrel should be bumped when moving to [community], and that has been my habit when moving packages from the AUR.

I agree. Even I used to be guilty. Although this is not AFAIK documented anywhere, we were recommended to do this whenever the question came up. I have added this as an AUR guideline: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?title=AUR_Trusted_User_Guidelines&diff=356844&oldid=356556 -- GPG/PGP ID: C0711BF1

Why n+1? I prefer no change of the current dot release. The original AUR package's software was compiled, is installed and the software does work. However, n+1 wouldn't be that annoying, as a reset to .1 is, so thanks for editing the Wiki. Regards, Ralf
