Meanwhile, replaces don't even do what a lot of people seem to think. They're only ever read from sync databases, they're only ever accounted for in an -Su operation, and the field is completely inert in either an installed package or a *.pkg.tar.xz file. -- Eli Schwartz Bug Wrangler and Trusted User signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Build and install remakepkg from the AUR 2. Write the following REPKGBUILD file: repkg extra/jre10-openjdk remove-replace jre9-openjdk 3. Run `remakepkg` Then again, this is just an alternative to just fetching Arch's PKGBUILD file for jre10-openjdk, editing it, and building the full package yourself. --Tinu signature.asc Description: PGP signature
