LuKaRo Yes, although, things are still not fully defined for everthing. I would say, however, that anything under https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux can be considered the de facto upstream for those projects as of now. It doesn't mean that mirroring always will be done, or that in some instances that the mirroring won't be done in the opposite direction (ie, from gitlab to github). Things are still evolving.

Re: [arch-general] Anyone having problems refreshing PGP keys lately?
Hi. This machine is from 2019. I am guessing there is a way to get the version of Pac-Man on that system. I was unable to get orca to read the file. To give you an idea of how old this system is, the nano is 4.4 something. Matthew.

You should be able to update the archlinux-keyring package then update the system. If it's old enough that it doesn't have the key for archlinux-keyring, it's not going to have pacman 5.2 and won't be able to successfully update anyway. The hooks in current packages require pacman 5.2.

Good morning all, I am wondering if anyone is having problems refreshing PGP keys from the default server? I can force it to use the ipv4 server, but using mate-terminal with orca I am unable to edit the /etc/pacman.d/gnu/pgp.conf file to change the server. Orca will not read it and plume will not open it with sudo rites. Any ideas on this one? This is an older arch vm which will not update till the PGP keys have been updated and imported. I do not have speech in a conc so that would not work. Thanks. Matthew

However, the AUR is an ideal place for it. This is correct. The polybar developers are aware of this, too, but it still needs to be fixed. -- Rob (coderobe) O< ascii ribbon campaign - stop html mail - www.asciiribbon.org

Polybar requires optional modules to be already installed before you compile it. Once built with those, it won't run without those dependencies installed. So to have a pre-compiled version you would need to either force-install every optional dependency with the Arch package (no longer 'optional', and kills extendability), or make decisions on which features to include/exclude (no longer 'customisable'). Unless this changes I don't see that polybar is compatible with Arch packaging. However, the AUR is an ideal place for it.
[arch-general] adding Polybar to offical Repos
Dear all, i am using i3 wm with Polybar as my status bar. i created the currently installed packages list using pacman's hook command. when i try to do fresh installation, i can get only the packages that are present in official Repos that doesnot include Polybar. Then after installing Yay i can get Polybar from AUR. it is quite inconvenience, and i dont know why Polybar is not added to official packages, Polybar is quite popular as well as it has quite good features. is is possible to include Polybar to the official packages under extra or community? if not could u plz explain? Thanks in advance regards Ramkumar
