Hi,
let's assume there are packages which depend on package X. Now I created a package Y in aur which is a slightly modified version of package X (some other configure options) but will also work with every package which depends on package X.
Now I used
conflicts=('X')
so my package can't be installed together with X because they have the same binaries, libs,... in the same places. But how can I make sure that the packages depending on X will be satisfied with package Y and don't want X to be installed? Is
provides=('X')
the correct thing?
greetings

Yes, provides=('X') is what you want. You might want provides=("X=version") to satisfy versioned dependencies.
