Description:

I have built various pkgs with srcpac.
srcpac -Qi shows Source : Yes

there's a new version of the pkg on the repo and
sudo srcpac -Syu
installs the binary instead of building it from source.

I hope I did not misunderstand it but in my opinion it should
install pkgs without 'from source'-flag as binaries from the repos and
build pkgs with 'from source'-flag.

I know there can be older versions of PKGBUILD in the abs-tree,
but then it should be updated later.

Because that's the point of srcpac.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
Name : srcpac
Version : 0.10.2-1
This task depends upon

This sounds more like a Feature Request than a bug.

For me this is the most important function of srcpac:
sudo srcpac -Syu
install pkgs without 'from source'-flag as binaries from the repos and
BUILD(!!) pkgs with 'from source'-flag.

Look at this 7-year-old announcment of srcpac:
http://www.archlinux.org/news/srcpac-to-support-source-building/

"srcpac -Syu will upgrade all binary packages by installing binaries and upgrade all source packages by compiling from source."

The feature request in my report was to postpone an update if the PKGBUILD from the ABS-tree is older than the binary on the repo.
But that's only a hint to solve this bug.
