[SOLVED]AUR package version always behind the compiled-package version

Hi everybody!

When updating my machine, I used to compile some packages myself. Since some time, the version of the package in the PKGBUILD is always behind that of the same pre-compiled package. As an example, for vim, as of now the compiled-package version is:

% yaourt -Si vim | grep Ver
Version         : 8.0.0851-1

while the version in the PKGBUILD is:

% yaourt -Sb vim

  ...
pkgver=8.0.0586
_versiondir=80
pkgrel=2
  ...

Did anybody else experience this behavior? How may I fix it?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [SOLVED]AUR package version always behind the compiled-package version

Has yaourt been updated to reflect the fact that the rsync endpoint for official packages doesn't exist anymore?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: [SOLVED]AUR package version always behind the compiled-package version

You're right: there's an open issue on yaourt's repository about moving from abs to asp (https://github.com/archlinuxfr/yaourt/issues/327). I guess it's just a matter of time until yaourt's support for asp will be ready. Thanks a lot for the reply.
