[aur-general] migration from mingw32-qt to mingw32-qt4
Hi, i maintain both packages, i made changes to use the new qt4- prefixes and new locations, like the official Qt package did some weeks ago to co-exist with Qt5. I would need some advice about how to direct the people using mingw32-qt to mingw32-qt4, i have made a comment on mingw32-qt, i don't know if would be a good idea to make a fake upgrade to mingw32-qt with a msg or something users of automatic aur upgrade utilities (like yaourt) could see. Any better ideas please? Thanks! Regards, Miguel Angel.

You can use post_upgrade() with vercmp in install file. -- Bartłomiej Piotrowski http://bpiotrowski.pl/
or, i think maybe you can change the pkgname in pkgbuild somewhere somehow that is not picked up by the aur website. never tried this, just thinking. On Mon, Apr 29, 2013 at 4:28 PM, Bartłomiej Piotrowski <b@bpiotrowski.pl>wrote:
