[arch-announce] Cleaning up old repositories
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Sven-Hendrik Haase 16 Feb '25

16 Feb '25

Around two years ago, we've merged the `[community]` repository into `[extra]` as part of the [git migration](https://archlinux.org/news/git-migration-completed/). In order to not break user setups, we kept these repositories around in an unused and empty state. We're going to clean up these old repositories on **2025-03-01**. On systems where `/etc/pacman.conf` still references the old `[community]` repository, `pacman -Sy` will return an error on trying to sync repository metadata. The following deprecated repositories will be removed: `[community]`, `[community-testing]`, `[testing]`, `[testing-debug]`, `[staging]`, `[staging-debug]`. Please make sure to remove all use of the aforementioned repositories from your `/etc/pacman.conf` (for which a `.pacnew` was shipped with `pacman>=6.0.2-7`)!

[arch-announce] Glibc 2.41 corrupting Discord installation
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Frederik Schwan 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

We plan to move `glibc` and its friends to stable later today, Feb 3. After installing the update, the Discord client will show a red warning that the installation is corrupt. This issue has been fixed in the Discord canary build. If you rely on audio connectivity, please use the canary build, login via browser or the flatpak version until the fix hits the stable Discord release. There have been no reports that (written) chat connectivity is affected. URL: https://archlinux.org/news/glibc-241-corrupting-discord-installation/
