[arch-dev-public] Use of force=y

Hi,

openchrome released a stable version recently (0.2.9):
http://www.openchrome.org/releases/

The current package in extra is based on a svn snapshot: openchrome
20070903-2

I need to use force=y for an update. How long do week keep force=y in
packages: If pacman uses an outdated mirror, this will lead to downgrade.

I'm also thinking about adding the radeonhd to extra but i prefer a 
naming scheme like radeonhd-git-2007xxxx until a official packages
is released and then use "replaces". Any objections?

Jürgen
