Good morning devs, just a comment from a complete archlinux newbie:

I'm not sure what the aur-rules say about having a (more up-to-date) package in aur in that repos, but in general: a) If having a package in both, a repo & aur, is not allowed: Depending on the server side implementation of the upload handling, it should be pretty easy to add a check there. And I think it would make much sense, to automate stuff that a human normally fails at and does not want to do. b) In any other case (uploading allowed in general or only for special reasons): Why not add a warning and refuse an upload of the same package by default, but allow --force-because-I-know-what-I-do-flag somewhere?
