question about packages from AUR that get into [community]

just noticed that powerpill is out of the AUR and into [community] (yeah!). My question: since I installed powerpill and its two deps from the AUR, should I uninstall the versions that I built from the AUR then install from the repo or doesn't it matter? In other words, will pacman know that these are in the repos and if updates are posted, will it fetch them just like any other package?

I think the answer is no to the uninstall and yes to pacman just working, but I'd like to hear from the pros

Thanks!

it will work automagically . you don't have to remove any of those packages. continue to use it and when an update is available then it will be updated.

Thanks for the confirmation. Powerpill rocks - I'm very glad to see that it's in [community] now. I took a stab at updating the beginners guide with an entry about it. I don't have much time tonight to do it justice, but at least it's a start.
