Latest News PHP 8.2 update and introduction of legacy branch 2023-01-13 The php packages have been updated to the latest version 8.2. In addition to this, a new set of php-legacy packages have been introduced. These will follow the oldest but still actively supported PHP branch. This enables users to install the latest version but also introduces the option to use third party applications that might rely on an older version. Both branches will be kept up to date following our rolling release model. php and php-legacy can be installed at the same time as the latter uses a -legacy suffix for its binaries and configuration files. In addition to this, the php7 packages have been removed as they reached end of life. The imap extension will no longer be provided as it relies on the c-client library which has been abandoned for many years. In memory of Jonathon Fernyhough 2023-01-12 Arch Linux mourns the sudden loss of Jonathon Fernyhough, known in our community as jonathon , who passed away on Saturday night. Jonathon was an active participant and contributor to Arch Linux, several derived distributions, the AUR and through personal repositories. He was enthusiastic, helpful and eager to contribute towards improving the free and open source software community as a whole. On behalf of the wider Arch Linux community, our condolences go out to his family and friends. Removing python2 from the repositories 2022-09-23 Python 2 went end of life January 2020. Since then we have been actively cutting down the number of projects depending on python2 in our repositories, and we have finally been able to drop it from our distribution. If you still have python2 installed on your system consider removing it and any python2 package. If you still require the python2 package you can keep it around, but please be aware that there will be no security updates. If you need a patched package please consult the AUR, or use an unofficial user repository . Arch Linux mailing list changes 2022-09-16 As part of dropping Python 2 which is EOL, we have migrated our mailing lists from mailman2 to mailman3. Rewriting of the "From" header and subject (to prepend the list name) have been disabled to keep the DKIM signature intact. This means " reply to mailing list " must be used when replying to the list and you may need to update your filters and rules matching the "From" header. All existing subscriptions are migrated and you do not need to re-subscribe. For managing your subscriptions a new mailman3 account must be registered . Grub bootloader upgrade and configuration incompatibilities 2022-08-30 Recent changes in grub added a new command option to fwsetup and changed the way the command is invoked in the generated boot configuration. Depending on your system hardware and setup this could cause an unbootable system due to incompatibilities between the installed bootloader and configuration. After a grub package update it is advised to run both, installation and regeneration of configuration: grub-install ... grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg For more specific information on grub-install , please refer to the wiki: GRUB - ArchWiki Older News 2022-07-14 wxWidgets 3.2 update may need manual intervention 2022-05-12 Undone replacement of pipewire-media-session with wireplumber 2022-05-09 QEMU >= 7.0.0 changes split package setup 2022-03-25 Keycloak 17.0.1-2 update requires manual reconfiguration 2022-02-23 Arch Linux Leader Election Results 2022-02-02 Debug packages and debuginfod 2022-01-21 linux-firmware 20220119.0c6a7b3-2 requires kernel >=5.3 and package splitting 2021-12-27 libxml2>=2.9.12-6 update may require manual intervention 2021-06-08 Sorting out old password hashes 2021-05-24 Move of official IRC channels to libera.chat Package Search: Recent Updates ( more ) pkgstats 3.2.8-1 x86_64 chromium 110.0.5481.77-2 x86_64 pdal 2.5.1-1 x86_64 forgejo 1.18.3.1-1 x86_64 binaryen 1:112-1 x86_64 stunnel 5.68-1 x86_64 racket 8.8-1 x86_64 python-xmlschema 2.2.1-1 any xmms2 0.9.2-1 x86_64 wallabag 2.5.4-1 any bear 3.1.0-1 x86_64 lego 4.10.0-1 x86_64 gnome-terminal 3.46.8-1 x86_64 vala 0.56.4-1 x86_64 harfbuzz 7.0.0-1 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 © 2002-2023 Judd Vinet , Aaron Griffin and Levente Polyák .
