How do I upgrade from AUR only?

As I read somewhere:

yaourt -Syu --aur

But this suggests to upgrade from base first... I don't want that. I have "pacman -Syu" for everything but AUR.

So how do I upgrade from AUR only?

You really should upgrade base first, because you might break your system otherwise.

I don't use yaourt, but

yaourt -Syu --aur $(pacman -Qqm)

can be a good start.

Edit: ... or not. I guess I need to test it some more ;P

So it`s better not to upgrade from AUR only but to upgrade all the packages at once?

It's a bad idea to upgrade from aur, without upgrading the official repos....you might make your system unusable, as karol already pointed out.

Yes, as the authors of numerous tools would have given you the option of upgrading aur only if that would be safe.
