There are some upcoming changes to the Arch repos that everyone should be aware of.
What is happening
Full details are in the link below but the most important note to be aware of is:
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.
For those people that arenât signed up to the âarch-dev-publicâ mailing list, will we get another notification on when we can do the conf changes? Naturally, should some people wish to do this.
Or will EnOS provide some sort of update, to help the transition? A script in the welcome application or the like?
that could be misunderstood. The community repo will be empty after the migration, therefore no error message will be written. But it wonât be maintained as it is empty - it will only exist unmaintained until the devâs decide to delete it.
Right. My point was that since it isnât being immediately removed, people wonât start getting update errors right away. Additionally, since everyone should already have the extra repo, there should be no short-term impact.
is there a way to see the pacnew file again? pacdiff and meld tool removed it⌠I had some errors from line I shouldnât have added⌠commented them out and its working okay but I would like to take a look again.
