From my understanding of ArchLinux naming conventions, the latest version of a program should be the package without a version appended to the name, and older versions should have a version on it.

Wouldn't this mean that Enlightenment 0.17.1 should be the "enlightenment" package and the current "enlightenment" should be "enlightenment16"? I've dealt with more than one person that's been confused by this on #e, they install "enlightenment" expecting to get the latest version.
This task depends upon

I think we should follow the upstream naming schema, so:
- enlightenment -> e16
- enlightenment17 -> enlightenment

I renamed enlightenment to enlightenment16. I will reintroduce an enlightenment package in a few weeks with the release of enlightenment dr18. In the meantime the replace= line should take care of some of the people that want to keep using dr16.

you should've put version in the replaces array:
replaces=('enlightenment<=1.0.13')
Otherwise, it will create problems when there will be a dr18 enlightment package in the repos.

I'll bump it.

Actually, 'enlightenmen>=1.0' would be more appropriate. E18 is 0.18.0, so 'enlightenment<=1.0.13' wouldn't work unless you use an epoch on the new enlightenment package.
