Upgrading a package which was installed using AUR

Hi,

A few months ago I installed Arch, but couldn't get the intel graphic card working. That is, I tried to installed the legacy driver and got it working, but I had performance issue with that driver. Then I decided to install the new driver from AUR. However, installing the new driver didn't help me either. Anyway, I have been using the newest intel driver with a lot of performance issues, especially when a flash video is playing.

Today, I noticed that a new version of intel driver is available at AUR, that's why, I decided to give it a try, but I cannot find any tutorial about upgrading my driver.

I would really appreciate if someone gives me some directions on this.

Re: Upgrading a package which was installed using AUR

to "upgrade" an aur package you simply install the newer version from the AUR the same way you did the previous one.  as mentioned, there are multiple tools which automate this process, my aurget script being one (yaourt being a lesser known competitor ).
