2023-05-20 23:00 (by maroujin)

There was official news from Arch:

https://archlinux.org/news/git-migration-announcement/

It looks like the Git package migration will take place from the morning of May 19 to 21.

Details of the reorganisation

  • extra / community - Merge the former as a surviving repository. After the merger, the latter becomes an empty repository.
  • testing / staging - was divided into "core-*" and "extra-*".

Solution

After the migration is complete (notice will be sent out on the mailing list "arch-dev-public", so please check it frequently), please change the description of "/etc/pacman.conf".

  • For normal usage, it is sufficient to delete "community".
  • If "testing" is valid, divide it into "core-testing" and "extra-testing" (the same applies to "staging").
