Update XFS

On this webpage: http://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/, there is a list of updates that are made to the files related to the XFS file system.  How do I incorporate those updates?  Do I just have to wait for the Arch Developers to incorporate the new material into the latest Arch kernel?  If so, I do not have a problem with that, I am just curious.  Of course, I am sure there is some way I could patch it myself, but I came to the n00b corner for a reason.

Re: Update XFS

These changes would be included upstream by the kernel devs. XFS has been mainline for awhile and so you can expect some changes to be included in new kernel releases. Other changes are made directly to the xfsutils package. Still, you shouldn't have to do anything but wait for updated packages.
