I'm new to Arch as of a couple of weeks. Whilst most of my newbie questions have already been answered by man pages, the wiki, and these forums, I'm left with two questions about Arch that I didn't find an answer to, so I'd appreciate if someone could answer these.
'pacman -Syu', or indeed 'yaourt -Syua', can show a number of updated packages. Is there a central changelog for these? The key word being 'central' - so one doesn't have to visit each package's web page to see what's changed.
How does one know whether a package installed from AUR requires reinstalling after a kernel upgrade? It could be one that provides a kernel module, for example.

Welcome to Arch.
1) Nothing central.
2) Keep an eye on the AUR or use a helper script.

I'm not sure 2 answers the question, does it? I thought the question was about needing to reinstall a package in AUR rather than needing to update it?

I don't think there's any standard way of knowing whether or not an AUR package absolutely needs to be rebuilt against a new kernel.
In my case (because of the fairly limited amount of AUR packages I'm running), I just rebuild them whenever a kernel update has been released.
Burninate!

I suppose it did answer it, in that one just has to check each of these things manually upon an update.
