Yaourt --devel switch
How does yaourt choose which packages to upgrade? I've been issuing
yaourt -Syyua --devel to perform a full system upgrade including packages from the aur(this is correct right? somewhat risky)
Having the devel switch on makes it echo
==> upgrading SVN/CVS/HG/GIT packagebut how does it know which packages are SVN/CVS/HG/GIT? Does it upgrade anything else? (like git kernel version)

Re: Yaourt --devel switch
Yaourt is a wrapper script written in bash. I suspect it just matches packages ending in -svn, -cvs, -hg, or -git using grep or something. Take a look at the script yourself and see if you can find out.

Re: Yaourt --devel switch
It appears you're right. In "pkgbuild.sh.in" and "abs.sh.in", it only checks for packages from the AUR via pkgbuild variables like the name.

Re: Yaourt --devel switch
There's also no need to force syncing all the repositories for most updates. One 'y' should be enough in most circumstances.
All the best,
