Second line performs addition/appending PKG_PATH and new line:
https://stable.mtier.org/updates/$(uname -r)/$(arch -s)
and then set up PKG_PATH to totality/sum/concatenation of these variables.

If you are not following current, to receive security and/or reliablity fixes you need to:
1. Manually fetch souce code and compile it
or
2. Use unofficial, but commonly trusted M:Tier.
No, I do not follow current. I am just beginning to learn, so I am following stable.
