Hello,
I was wondering, as I am updating my PKGBUILDs to use the new VCS features of pacman, if this specific case need an epoch increase for those packages.
Packages version were generated from the date (eg 20130401) and thus will probably be bigger than new versions from the tags (eg 0.3.1.32.gfb4117d). Thus an epoch increase should be needed to have a correct behavior.
But it seems most packagers are not increasing the epoch as they are switching to this new versionning scheme.
Is there a recommendation on this?

Yes, the correct thing to do would be bumping epoch for every new release of the PKGBUILD.
