Hi,
I'm going out for a four month hike next spring, and will not bring my loved XPS with me. It struck me yesterday that being offline for four months is something pacman and yaourt might not like. How do these programs handle long-term stasis, will things break horribly when I come back and run an update? Is there anything I can do to avoid it?
As others noted: make sure your data is backed up safely. Besides that: check the arch news before updating and you should be ok. I've had exactly the same situation with a special system, but even after 6 months or so, the update went very smooth. Pacman is really a killer app here ;). Mvg, Guus
