[pacman-dev] Versioned packages

Here is my attempt to solve seven years old infamous problem: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/16702 Patch won't solve problem out of the box, a small changes in kernel PKGBUILD will be required, but only concerning install part. Idea behind patch is pretty simple: 1) Configure list of packages

Hi, If two repos (obviously not both official) provide the same binary package, pacman will install the package from the repo that is listed first in pacman.conf, if specified on the command line, e.g. pacman -S foo. If another package depends on foo, the same thing happens, but if it instead
