Now that I caught your attention Archers,
...let me explain myself before getting flamed... :
This is not really a rant, nor a troll post... this is the statement of a problem that I found with Arch, and the recognition of my ignorance as how to circumvent it or avoid it...
... I still consider Arch/Slackware my distros of choice...
So... this is really, me asking for help...
Thing is...
Arch is a rolling release... meaning that from time to time, I run pacman -Syu... and everything runs fine... most of the time...
Last time i did this, I lost my wireless, no big fuss, rebuilt the module, installed it, depmod... and fine...
But some apps I built and installed, either from AUR, or my own packages, got broken... library versions changed, so there I was, rebuilding all the stuff...
Can this be avoided, or must i simply never run Pacman -Syu, risking to have to rebuild lots of stuff...?
BRGDS
