We feel the need to stress the fact that not all of Berkus’ Madfire proaudio repository is out-of-date. Technically, packages that are there because they work well do not need updates.

Let us take the chance to give you an example:

kernel-26231rt11

That is one very stable kernel – in one of our opinions. It’s well worth the time to sync to yet another repo during a pacman refresh. Take, for example, a scenario where you have no time to compile a kernel. What would Hercules do?

# /etc/pacman.conf
...
