[SOLVED] newbie question about pacman and yaourt
Hello,
After quite some time setting up Archlinux on my laptop, which was quite a ride getting everything to work.
In any case, I have a question. I have installed the broadcom-wl module via AUR, using yaourt, which works like a charm. Suppose in a few days there's a kernel update. How does pacman handle module recompilation, especially if the module was coming from AUR ?
Thanks !!

It does not. You will need to rebuild it yourself.

Thanks.
I suppose doing that could be simply just calling yaourt to reinstall the module again no ?
