Hi :)
I've got some newbie questions regarding to the Unofficial User Repositories. Until now I only used some AUR packages and /etc/pacman.conf was set up like [1]. Now I'll uncomment multilib and add - archaudio-production - archstudio - kxstudio-free - kxstudio-non-free - arch-fonts - mate - archaudio-preview - archaudio-nightly - archaudio-experimental
Is it recommended not to use some of those repositories to avoid a broken system? Is this order ok, or is another order more safe? Any recommendations when pro-audio is most important, followed by painting and graphic design and less important video production?
I am not familiar with these extra repositories but by the naming, I would suggest not to use 'archaudio-preview', 'archaudio-nightly' and 'archaudio-experimental' if you want the maximum stability. All these look like they aren't meant for daily use since there is already a 'archaudio-production'. So unless you want to test packages it might be better to stay away from these.
Thanks, this is my thought too, that's why I add those repos at the end of the list. So if there should e.g. be a broken codec in "nightly" it won't be installed, if there already is this codec in "production". I guess a broken "studio" app won't break the complete Arch install, but perhaps "mate" could cause issues regarding to GTK libs, that are able to break the complete install. Regards, Ralf
