[SOLVED]not all packages in repos

Hello,

Why is it that I cannot find 'yay' package or 'ledger-live-bin' with pacman -Ss or pacman -S?

On my manjaro installation I can find both of them and manjaro uses the same pacman and is based on arch, or am I misunderstanding here something?

Re: [SOLVED]not all packages in repos

"based on" != "is"

Eg. yay is an AUR package and might be precompiled in some manjaro repo, but it's not in the arch repos.

@b42 ...and it will never be due to it (yay) not distinguishing between official packages and the AUR, basically...

Re: [SOLVED]not all packages in repos

okay, so does it mean that manjaro (which is essentially arch) and arch have different 'extra' repositories ? because ledger-live-bin can also not be found in arch extra repo

Re: [SOLVED]not all packages in repos

Manjaro is NOT "essentially arch", they're different distros.

okay, they both use pacman, does it still mean they have different extra repos?

Re: [SOLVED]not all packages in repos

They have totally separate repos. The package manager itself doesn't mean anything.

Re: [SOLVED]not all packages in repos

okay I get it now.

where can I find what repos my installation has and then the list of packages that those repos contain?

The first part of the question see Pacman#Repositories_and_mirrors.  For the second part you can use:

pacman -Sl $repo
