Updating epiphany-webkit
I'm interested in using epiphany with webkit as my main browser. I've found the package from AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=15752
However, after visiting webkit's page i noticed that it has nightly builds, meaning the version of webkit keeps changing. My question is how can i update my epiphany-webkit after downloading it from AUR? Thanks.

Re: Updating epiphany-webkit
To update it you'd have to either redownload the PKGBUILD every time the maintainer does an update or change the PKGBUILD's version number yourself.
However, if you're looking for a more reasonable approach to keeping it up to date check out yaourt.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Yaourt
With yaourt you can install/update packages from the aur much like you do with pacman.
yaourt -Syu --aur
Will update all pacman packages and check whether aur packages are out of date as well, and ask you to update those if necessary.

Re: Updating epiphany-webkit
I just tried building the package by 'makepkg -s', but it shows something like this:

Re: Updating epiphany-webkit
It sounds like you just recently installed sudo... did you configure it according to the wiki?

Re: Updating epiphany-webkit
Hmm...that's wierd. I don't remember installing sudo. I might have accidentally installed it when i installed packages in the initial install. I'll try again. Thanks for the tip.
