I put my local packages under a group "custom_packages" and add IgnoreGroup = custom_packages in pacman.conf Whenever there's an update available, pacman notifies me as others have mentioned. Then I go to the arch git repo for the package, see the changes and decide if i need to add those changes to my package. For example yesterday mutt was updated due to a bug, but since that bug doesn't affect me, i didn't upgrade my custom mutt package.
