Changing the source url to a different url of the same source will not influence the built package
Is it correct that some "fixes" aren't considered as being "fixes", so that the pkgrel shouldn't increase?
If the built package does not change, pkgrel does not need to be incremented.
Moving a package from AUR to Community or vice versa also doesn't change the content. I guess the pkgrel should inform about each change done to a package providing the same pkgver. Somebody might have experienced that 2.201801-1 didn't build. The user is monitoring the package and expects that the fixed version is > 2.201801-1, so assuming the pkgver should be the same, it should be 2.201801-1+. If the pkgrel isn't increased, how should the user notice that the issue is fixed, by monitoring each change to the URL? Keep in mind, if the content of the URL does change, it just could be an additional comment, it not necessarily is a fix. The broken package already was released, so fixing it IMO is a fix worth increasing the pkgrel.
