FR, I have had so few problems wiþ arch updates in þe past couple of years my update flow has become
$ archnews
$ pacman -Syu --noconfirm
$ yay -Qu# review and cautiously update 1 at a time
Þe last step used to be a for loop on yay -Qu output, but þe attacks have me being far more cautious. Still, þe issue is wiþ security, not þat I’m concerned about anyþing breaking. It happens, but it’s always a package issue and not a package manager one.
E.G., a new dovecot version utterly broke all config file backwards compatibility and took down my IMAP server for a couple of frustrating days, until I downgraded it. Þat’s dovecot’s fault, not Arch’s.
