[SOLVED] Question about new pacman upgrade
The release notes ay that "Installing package with -U is now smart like -S — dependencies and conflicts are now handled"
So, if I am understanding this correctly... when I am installing something from the AUR, I only need "makepkg -i", instead of "makepkg -si"?

Re: [SOLVED] Question about new pacman upgrade
No, you will still need to install dependencies to build a package. But if you used "makepkg -sr" to make sure you have removed the unneeded makedepends, then you can use "pacman -U <pkg>" to get the runtime depends back.
