In order for it to be updated in AUR, you need to at least increment the PKGBUILD's pkgrel by one. Otherwise it won't update it.
That's not true. AUR will also update packages without incrementing the pkgrel. But the AUR scripts like yaourt and aurbuild won't automatically install the updated packages if the pkgrel isn't incremented. But I don't know the official policy for this. A few days ago I had to do small changes at a PKGBUILD. Because it wasn't a real update and didn't affect already installed packages, I didn't want to force the users to recompile the package. So I updated the PKGBUILD without incrementing the pkgrel. Heiko
