pacman Updates

has anything changed in the Pacman system?
Because I read here something about "devtools" and "pkgctl"!?

We are thrilled to announce the successful migration [0] of our packaging ecosystem to Git, with package sources now accessible on GitLab [1]. As part of this transition, we have developed a powerful new tool called `pkgctl` [2], available through `devtools`, offering a user-centric design and streamlined user experience for interacting with all aspects of Arch Linux packaging for users and packagers alike.

Please note that our bugtracker remains on Flyspray, and we are not currently accepting merge requests. However, opening the issue tracker and accepting merge requests on GitLab package repositories is a top priority for us, and we are actively working towards making this transition in the near future.

Re: pacman Updates

There's a pacman update with a new pacman.conf, if that's what you're asking.

Re: pacman Updates

This is "Pacman v6.0.2", without the "community repos", right?

"Arch Linux in May 2023"

[checks calendar… yup, still June, 18th]

That's all about the stuff that happened about a month ago, if you've updated pacman in the meantime (and migrated the config) that's just old news to you.
