Because, again, your mirror hasn't updated yet.

Re: Git migration announcement

After doing the update, I assume it is safe to remove the following files

/var/lib/pacman/sync/community.db
/var/lib/pacman/sync/community.files

and get back 30MB of root disk space?

Sure - see:

Any way to check when the mirrors are updated?

Re: Git migration announcement

That's not a very useful check, but if you literally want to check when your currently selected top mirror updated:

date -d @$(curl -s $(sed  '1{s/Server = //;s/$repo.*/lastupdate/;q' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist))

But there's really no point in checking - just use any one of the many tools to select up to date mirrors.

I'm getting this error:

Re: Git migration announcement

And that mirror is on the "out of sync" mirror list.  Pick a functioning mirror.

Dear Arch Linux team,

Good job for the migration!

How we can create an account on https://gitlab.archlinux.org/?
"Arch Linux SSO" is linked to the forum?

Thanks in advance.

Re: Git migration announcement

[core-staging] I do believe is up for the first time. Searching for linux gives this result in package search:

https://archlinux.org/packages/?sort=&q … =&flagged=

It shouldn't be labeled with capital letters.

A new kernel is/was usually in the core-testing or extra-testing repo. It is the first time we see this new repo. The search page should be updated to reflect the new change.

Will it replace [core-testing]? 

$ pacman -Syu

Re: Git migration announcement

Anything in a "staging" repo is not for installation.  Remove it from your pacman config.

Re: Git migration announcement

The staging repositories are also described in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Stagin … positories

In this case, the kernel is probably in staging to allow rebuilds of the kernel modules before pushing everything to testing at once.

Re: Git migration announcement

The staging stuff was removed from Pamac this morning and was moved the core-testing one. Same for the given link. We knew about staging, but now we know the name for further excitement. We set it in dormant state: #
