Assuming you mean a fork of Arch, I agree. [snip]
And I agree with the following statement: On Wed, 2012-08-29 at 10:39 +0100, Peter Cannon wrote:
Oh and as a side note a rolling release means it rolls, http://www.thefreedictionary.com/roll if it stops because of a breakage or a change in file structure or manipulation that then means it is not rolling it has come to a halt. Just wanted to add that for those I keep seeing on the net saying "It's a rolling release what do you expect?" Judd Vincent meant "You'll never have to upgrade because every pacman- Syu gives you the most recent version." ergo 'It's rolled over to the latest. If a package breaks your system that's fair enough, if changing the file structure or core of your system breaks it that has nothing to do with 'rolling' that's called "I just ripped the wires out of your radio but hey you get to keep all the parts." just wanted to clarify that.
Is Arch a rolling release or isn't it?
