Hello everybody, the systemd development team has started pushing pre-release for the upcoming v261 release. Please see the NEWS [0] for details. As announced in the PKGBUILD [1] I have prepared packages and pushed them to my personal testing repository. Have a look at this if you are brave and want to have a first look. Please note: With an encrypted disk you need at least mkinitcpio 41-4, currently in core-testing. Happy testing!

Draft: AUR malicious packages incident
by Campbell Jones 12 Jun '26

12 Jun '26

The draft follows: --- We are currently experiencing a high volume of malicious package adoptions and updates in the Arch User Repository. We are actively working to track down existing malicious commits and attempting to prevent additional malicious commits from being pushed. While this is happening, and while we work to create a more permanent solution, users may see issues with the following: - Creating new accounts on the AUR - Pushing package updates - Adopting or creating new packages We encourage active users of AUR packages to review *all* PKGBUILD changes when updating, especially during this time. If you notice suspicious commits to a package that you use, please reach out to Arch staff via the aur-general mailing list with more information. --- Campbell

apparmor 5.0.0-1 pulled out of [extra-testing]
by Robin Candau 03 Jun '26

03 Jun '26

Hi everyone, apparmor 5.0.0-1 was pulled out of [extra-testing] as it introduces a fair amount of regressions that cannot be reasonably fixed with patches at the packaging level. We will wait for the next upstream release. Testing users can downgrade to the apparmor 4.1.7-1 package currently in [extra]. -- Regards, Robin Candau / Antiz
