Hi :)
I wonder if warnings like
# pacman -Syu warning: qtractor: local (0.5.3.15-2684) is newer than community (0.5.3-1) warning: rtirq: local (20111007-1) is newer than archaudio-preview (20090920-1)
are useful? Once there will be more packages, it will become uncomfortable to read more important output.
2 Cents,
Ralf
This is a pretty significant warning though, that -Syu might lead to a library upgrade that breaks the apparently newer than in repo version of your application or other unwanted situations. Something is non-standard, pacman is warning you of this.
Having said that, I'd like to add that cherry-picking updates is generally a bad idea. You should stick to repository updates unless you have a very good reason to cherry pick.
rtirq is outdated and doesn't work with the AUR's kernel-rt, it's from the archstudio repo that is optimized for Intel Core {i3,i5,i7} CPU, not important for this script, but regarding to other software I guess my Athlon dual-core shouldn't use this repo
Sometimes I'm a Qtractor svn tester and at the moment I do the German translation for Qtractor from svn, so I build it from svn.
For audio there could be many reasons to build current versions, a while ago I had to build ALSA to get my RME PCIe card work, I had to build Jack2, to get less MIDI jitter etc..
So for me there are very good reasons. I suspect that upgrades will ^^^^ won't
break a newer software version than that from the repositories very often ;), usually older libs tend to cause issues.
IMO this output doesn't make much sense.
Regards,
Ralf
