Hey. The epoch field in PKGBUILD files is completely ignored now, and the final Version field for the package consists only of pkgver and pkgrel (example: 5.0-1) This means that various AUR helpers cannot perform updates on packages that have epoch > 0, because the local package is from that higher epoch and the one in the AUR (as reported by rpc.php) is from epoch 0. I'm providing a patch that supposedly fixes the problem by inspecting the epoch field, and if not 0 prepending it to the Version (example: 1:5.0-1). Comments welcome.
