TESTING Repository: installed and used

Just to update who maybe interested. I activated the testing repositories and the result has been positive.

My system configuration is: Plasma, btrfs+LUKS, linux-zen, nvidia-304xx.

I repeated the installation on two different systems (I've a test system) and the "collateral effects" was:

1) black screen with kwin 5.11, downgraded to the kwin 5.10 and all work perfectly
2) qt5-tools in world-testing is broken, I installed the version in extra (Arch repo and same version) and all is fine
3) lib32-eudev: I must use the --force parameter to install it, but all fine
4) the libcurl-compat incompatibility disappear
5) I've the impression that the WIFI connection (rtl8192eu) is fast
6) a new mkinitcpio.conf.pacnew is installed. BEWARE: before to replace the old mkinitcpio.conf control the options, specially the HOOKS command line; if you are using and encrypted partition, you MUST add the "encrypt" parameter to the HOOKS command  line.

No problem with other software. I'll continue to use the testing repos, obviously testing them before with my test installation.
