Hello,
So when I read about Arch and Arch based distro(stability and unstability) I read and hear many times that we need to avoid outdated packages…
Now, I’m newbie and I want to install timeshift to be sure that i have backup always…
But now when I searched for timeshift it says that it’s outdated…
Also I found about this “autosnap” and “autoupgrade” scripts, but I assume that I need timeshift even for them…
Also questions is this “auto” in those names means that it will upgrade system as they “see” upgrade, or still I chose when to upgrade?
I like possibility that there is autosnap, but I don’t want to upgrade starts without my manual commands, if you understand what I mean…
This means someone has flagged the AUR package as out-of-date. This probably means that someone has spotted that there is a new release but the AUR maintainer hasn’t updated the PKGBUILD yet.
Yes, these look like they are third-party addons which require (or are otherwise related to) timeshift.
No, these will run automatically when you upgrade/update the system (i.e. automatically make a snapshot when you update). They do not enable automatic updates.
I use timeshift-autosnap it creates a snapshot when you upgrade with #pacman -Syu or yay before applying updates . autoupgrade's description says it updates packages automatically and restore snapshot when things go south . Haven’t tried that out yet !!
Yes ofcourse, I don’t mind that is outdated, I only ask is it possible to break my system if I install outdated package if it’s outdated only couple of days? Or should i wait couple of days to be updated?
