Latest News Debug packages and debuginfod 2022-02-02 We are very happy to announce that debug packages are now available in Arch Linux. Debug symbols and source listing are provided through our debuginfod instance which can be utilized by debuggers such as gdb and delve. https://debuginfod.archlinux.org/ A couple of sponsored mirrors are providing the debug repositories while we figure out and communicate the new mirror requirements . https://america.mirror.pkgbuild.com https://asia.mirror.pkgbuild.com https://europe.mirror.pkgbuild.com Not all packages provide debug packages as enabling it for all packages is an ongoing effort.

Linux kernel from 5.3 on support loading from xz compressed firmware. CONFIG_FW_LOADER_COMPRESS kernel option must be enabled. All official Arch Linux kernel support this for a long time. [1] The linux-firmware package has been split into smaller packages to further reduce required disk space. Some big firmware files of rarely used hardware have been split into separate packages. This affects firmware for Mellanox Spectrum switches, Marvell devices, Qualcomm SoCs, Cavium LiquidIO server adapters, QLogic devices, Broadcom NetXtreme II 10Gb ethernet adapters. Make sure to install additional firmware packages if needed. [2] [1] … libxml2>=2.9.12-6 update may require manual intervention 2021-12-27 The libxml2 package prior to version 2.9.12-6 was missing the compiled python modules. This has been fixed in 2.9.12-6, so the upgrade may need to overwrite any untracked pyc files created. If you get errors like these libxml2: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/drv_libxml2.cpython-310.opt-1.pyc exists in filesystem libxml2: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/drv_libxml2.cpython-310.pyc exists in filesystem libxml2: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/libxml2.cpython-310.opt-1.pyc exists in filesystem libxml2: /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/libxml2.cpython-310.pyc exists in filesystem when updating, use pacman -Syu --overwrite /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/__pycache__/\* to perform the upgrade. Sorting out old password hashes 2021-06-08 Starting with libxcrypt 4.4.21, weak password hashes (such as MD5 and SHA1 ) are no longer accepted for new passwords. Users that still have their passwords stored with a weak hash will be asked to update their password on their next login. If the login just fails (for example from display manager) switch to a virtual terminal ( Ctrl-Alt-F2 ) and log in there once. Move of official IRC channels to libera.chat 2021-05-24 As some of you may have read over the past days, there has been an ownership dispute over the freenode.net network. The IRC network has been used by Arch Linux and many other projects over the past decades as a platform for discussion and support. The dispute led to the exodus of most former freenode staff from the network and the founding of a new network: libera.chat Starting today, Arch Linux and its sister projects Arch Linux ARM and Arch Linux 32 will begin migrating the official IRC channels from freenode.net to libera.chat. Please bear with us as this can … Older News 2021-04-01 Installation medium with installer 2021-02-19 Moving to Zstandard images by default on mkinitcpio 2021-02-03 Chromium losing Sync support in early March 2021-01-28 PHP 8.0 and PHP 7 legacy packages are available 2021-01-14 Manual pages indexing service 2020-12-31 Arch Linux mailing list id changes 2020-11-01 Accessible installation medium 2020-10-23 libtraceevent>=5.9-1 update requires manual intervention 2020-10-21 nvidia 455.28 is incompatible with linux >= 5.9 2020-10-01 ghostpcl>=9.53.2-2 and ghostxps>=9.53.2-2 updates require manual intervention Package Search: Recent Updates ( more ) qt5-declarative 5.15.2+kde+r45-1 x86_64 hugin 2021.0.0-2 x86_64 qt5-base 5.15.2+kde+r297-1 x86_64 sad 0.4.20-1 x86_64 syncplay 1.6.9-4 any dvgrab 3.5-12 x86_64 wireplumber 0.4.7-2 x86_64 transcode 1.1.7-40 x86_64 zettlr 2.1.3-3 x86_64 fftw 3.3.10-2 x86_64 mattermost-desktop 5.0.3-2 x86_64 crimson-pro-font 1.003-1 any crimson-font 0.800-1 any xplc 0.3.13-9 x86_64 coin-or-cgl 0.60.5-1 x86_64 Documentation Wiki Manual Pages Installation Guide Community Mailing Lists IRC Channels Planet Arch International Communities Support Donate Products via Unixstickers T-shirts via Freewear T-shirts via HELLOTUX Tools Mirrorlist Updater Mirror List Mirror Status Development Getting involved Projects in Git SVN Repositories Developer Wiki Package Groups Todo Lists ISO Release List Visualizations Differences Reports People Developers Trusted Users Support Staff Developer Fellows Trusted User Fellows Support Staff Fellows Signing Master Keys More Resources Press Coverage Logos & Artwork News Archives RSS Feeds Copyright © 2002-2022 Judd Vinet , Aaron Griffin and Levente Polyák .
