Question about programs installed from AUR by pkgbuild vs. repo

Hi,

Do programs that get installed from the AUR through pkgbuild's get updated on a pacman -Syu also?

Thanks.

EDIT: i.e. unsupported software like gnome global-menu

No. If you want that kind of support for AUR, install yaourt.

No,

To do that, you can do 'yaourt -Syu --aur' (if you have yaourt installed).

and you don't /just/ use the PKGBUILD in AUR. You use all the files in the tarball. i.e: download *.tar.gz and then extract it.
