[SOLVED] Disabling testing repositories

Wiki:
Disabling testing repositories

If you enabled testing repositories, but later on decided to disable them, you should:

    Remove (comment out) them from /etc/pacman.conf
    Perform a pacman -Syuu to "rollback" your updates from these repositories.

The second item is optional, but keep it in mind if you notice any problems.

If I don't do rollback will stable packages "catch up " the testing packages?

If I will enable testing
Update system - let's say that linux is updated
Then I will disable testing
I will not do rollback
When packages are moved from testing to stable my system will be "normal"?

Re: [SOLVED] Disabling testing repositories

If no problems are noticed the package that lands in stable will be the one from testing, if a package is adjusted for some reason it should receive a package bump that will show up as a normal update.

So yes your system will eventually "catch up"
