I’m currently on KDE Plasma (testing branch)…and abit itchy to test out the kde-git package (testing branch). How to update the git packages safely…(just incase something broke/or whatever reason I can safely downgrade to regular testing packages)…?
Please do not clutter the testing announcement with a somewhat unrelated question - open a new thread.
There are threads either in this forum or in the archived one where people wanted to move away from -git to “normal” packages: try their solutions “backwards”.
Do note that the second command can find more “-git” packages than you want (like from the AUR for example) so you may have to make a list of the items with
pacman -Qqdn | grep “-git” | sed ‘s/-git//g’ > gitpackages.txt
And delete wrong items out of it manually, then install them with
sudo pacman --asdeps -S $(cat gitpackages.txt)
If you’re willing to compile the stuff yourself though it is without risk and you can switch between the git version and stable when loggin in. Just follow those instructions: Get Involved/development - KDE Community Wiki
Thank you for the respond and very details step-by-step…really appreciates
sidenote: To Manjaro teams…any chances/possible you guys can add KDE-Next (Dev) as dedicated branch similar to/like what we have now with (Stable/Staging/Testing/Unstable)…one (+braveheart) can easily switch to this branch with breeze…just sudo pacman -Syyu and all normal/regular kde packages will replace with the -git packages…thank you
