Updating srcpkgs

[ACR-Jeff]

I have looked through tons of documentation and I can't find any info on Updating srcpkgs, What I mean by that is I noticed on the issue bug report that there is a script to update srcpkgs, Say I have easyeffects as a srcpkg.
If I give the command
./xbps-src update-check easyeffects
the output is:

easyeffects-7.1.5 -> easyeffects-7.1.6
easyeffects-7.1.5 -> easyeffects-7.1.7

In it's directory it also has a file named "update"
with the contents:

site="https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects/tags"
pattern="releases/tag/v\K[0-9.]+"

Also if there is such a way to update can this be done when srcpkg isn't installed prior to building?

Any information would be helpful, Thank you

see this section of the manual

update-check is only there to notify package maintainers of new releases being available, you have to edit the template to update it to that version yourself (update version, update the checksums, fix any build issues, etc)
