Hi lads,
Can I selectively install apackage from [testing] repo or do I
have to uncomment it in pacman.conf, update database, install it
and then comment it again? Is there a way to install it more
quickly/with less messing around with conf file? I do not have
access to my arch box for a few weeks now but started to wonder...
Thanks,
Greg.
Enable it in pacman.conf and place it as the last repository. Then
pacman -Sy testing/pkg_name
Never ever do this. testing repo is all or nothing.
Boohoo. I do this for years and it works fine for me. Sue me.
You just need to know that when things break because of it, how to fix
it. (which is easy)
Except, given the question being asked, the knowing how to fix things
when they break due to this is probably missing...
