Repository's priority is ignored.

[naqern]

Repositories listed on pacman.conf have priorities (see: archwiki)

repositories listed first will take precedence over those listed later in the file when packages in two repositories have identical names, regardless of version number.

I have [testing], [community-testing], [multilib-testing] enabled (but only specific packages are explicitly installed from them). Yet, "pikaur -Syu" for example suggests the very dangerous list of updates (all of them from testing!):

linux 4.15.6-1 -> 4.15.7-1 linux-headers 4.15.6-1 -> 4.15.7-1 linux-zen 4.15.6-1 -> 4.15.7-1 linux-zen-headers 4.15.6-1 -> 4.15.7-1

Different helpers (pacaur, yay, trizen…) are correctly implementing repository priority.

should priority apply only to -Syu or to just -S as well?

[naqern]

Priority is always applied. To install a package from a low priority repository you need to prepend the repository's name:

Install explicitly from a repository: pacman -S testing/linux Install the "official" package: pacman -S linux

thanks, in that case fix should be quite easy, i'll try to address it tonight or so
