There’s a few packages that I use that I have created personal patches for. When one of these packages gets updated I need to manually change the PKGBUILD to the new version, SHA, etc. Is there any way to have a local patch applied to a package every time a new version of the package is release?

    this task is easy on gentoo but hard anywhere else
    in the past I checked package updates via nvchecker, grabed the latest PKGBUILD via ABS, applied the patch, compiled the package and sent it to my custom repository
    if you add the repository higher in your pacman.conf it will grab it from that first

    but this a huge pita, even going through the route of maintaining an AUR package is simpler
