Installing a package with "-S" and few versions available
What if I install from some repo "pacman -S app" and there are few versions of "app" and I don't concretize it for pacman? What version will it install? I know that with "-U" I can tell it what version to install. But how does "-S" behave without concretizing?

It will install the first one it finds in the repos, searching in the order given in pacman.conf.

You can specify the repository you want pacman to use.
pacman -S repo/program
Or you can specify the version:
pacman -S program=version
