This scripts allows for changing version field of package in pacman db, for purpose of automatically adding git/vcs packages to update queue during system updates using AUR helpers ( eg. yaourt -Syua ). Example invocation:

• Just downgrade to version a-0, which will force update (default):

 changeling firefox-nightly

• Change to specified version:

 changeling firefox-nightly 666-666

A simple symlink can be used instead to update eg. mpv-git weekly: ln -sr /usr/bin/changeling /etc/cron.weekly/mpv-git
