Latest News Git migration completed 2023-05-21 We are proud to announce that the migration to Git packaging succeeded! 🥳 Thanks to everyone who has helped during the migration! Package sources are now available on GitLab . Note that the bugtracker is still flyspray and that merge requests are not accepted as of now. We intend to open the issue tracker and merge requests on the Gitlab package repos in the near future. Mirrors are syncing again, but it may take a bit of time until your mirror of choice has caught up. For users Update your system and merge the pacman pacnew /etc/pacman.conf.pacnew file. This is required as we have moved the [community] repository into [extra] . $ pacman -Syu "pacman>=6.0.2-7" For users of the now deprecated asp tool, you will need to switch to pkgctl : $ pacman -Syu "devtools>=1:1.0.0-1" $ pkgctl repo clone linux For some more detailed instructions on how to obtain PKGBUILDs see the corresponding wiki article . For packagers Before starting, first uninstall devtools-git-poc and remove any repos from your filesystem that you cloned during the git proof-of-concept testing.

The Arch Linux packaging team will not be able to update packages in any of the repositories during this period. Notification when the migration starts, and when it is completed, will be published on the [arch-dev-public] mailing list. How does this impact Arch Linux users? The [testing] repository will be split into [core-testing] and [extra-testing] , the [staging] repository will be split into [core-staging] and [extra-staging] . The [community] repository will be merged into [extra] and will therefore be empty after the migration.

If you installed the base-devel package group prior to this date, explicitly re-install it to get the new base-devel package installed on the system: pacman -Syu base-devel 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, … 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.

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.
