So, this brings an other question : what is a good
frequency for
updates ? I remember that on Gentoo, it was better to sync the system
frequently, as a two-month-late update could result in hard-to-solve
conflicts. This seems less of a problem in Arch Linux ? (no flamebait
intended)
For me it depends on project deadlines... if I am working on a performance, I
try not to do updates of my system, until after the whole rehearsal,
preparation and performance of the project, so that the system behaves as I
expect it to behave.
Then in downtime I can sit down and do an update, and fix any problems that
may occur.
