[x] I have checked the open and already closed issues for duplicates
Description
I maintain an aur package which uses git and wanted to change to the easier "latest" version plus increasing pkgrel. Which is used by other packages as well, example:
Issue is, if I push a new latest-n with an increased pkgrel paru doesn't recognize this as an update, which I feel is wrong. Paru should check the old vs the new aur-pkg identifier and if it has changed AND is now version wise greater than before make an update.
But it seems to be compared to the git version of the installed package, which is 1:0.13.0rc1.r18.ga72753bad-1 in my case and seems to be bigger than 1:latest-2 thus paru isn't considering this as an update.
Steps to reproduce:
Install a package which has 1:latest-1 pkg version in AUR.
pkgver() of the package creates a 1:0.13.0rc1.r18.ga72753bad-1 package
Update the package version in the AUR to 1:latest-2
Ask paru to search for updates.
Effect: Paru won't recognize the update in the aur as update.
