You have to check those VCS packages yourself from time to time. By definition the VCS packages pull the latest development version from the VCS, it would be really pointless to update the package with each upstream commit. The packages are usually easy to identify, as their name should end with -git, -svn, -bzr etc. yaourt offers the --devel option, which will trigger an update of all VCS packages. If you don't want that maybe switch to release versions. Often there is both a release and VCS version for a specific software in the AUR. I really wonder why you need the latest development snapshots for 200+ packages :) Cheers, Phil -- Philipp Wolfer parolu – work together smoothly http://parolu.de
