We are proud to announce that the migration to Git packaging succeeded! 🥳 Thanks to everyone who has helped during the migration! Package sources are now available on GitLab[0]. Note that the bugtracker is still flyspray[1] and that merge requests are not accepted as of now. We intend to open the issue tracker and merge requests on the Gitlab package repos in the near future. Mirrors are syncing again, but it may take a bit of time until your mirror of choice has caught up. ## For users Update your system and merge the pacman pacnew `/etc/pacman.conf.pacnew` file. This is required as we have moved the `[community]` repository into `[extra]`.    $ pacman -Syu "pacman>=6.0.2-7"` For users of the now deprecated `asp` tool, you will need to switch to `pkgctl`:    $ pacman -Syu "devtools>=1:1.0.0-1"    $ pkgctl repo clone linux For some more detailed instructions on how to obtain PKGBUILDs see the corresponding wiki article[2]. ## For packagers Before starting, first uninstall `devtools-git-poc` and remove any repos from your filesystem that you cloned during the git proof-of-concept testing. Make sure you have both, an updated devtools and pacman on your system:    $ pacman -Syu "devtools>=1:1.0.0-1" "pacman>=6.0.2-7"` Additionally clean up old chroots in `/var/lib/archbuild/`    $ rm -rf /var/lib/archbuild/    # or optionally, use the --clean option for pkgctl build *ONCE*    $ pkgctl build --clean For instruction on how to use `pkgctl`, please take a look at the "How to be a packager" wiki article[3] and also consult the man page of each subcommand for further information:    $ man pkgctl-build    $ man pkgctl-repo-clone [0] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages [1] https://bugs.archlinux.org [2] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_build_system#Retrieve_PKGBUILD_source [3] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DeveloperWiki:HOWTO_Be_A_Packager

I just want to say... all this work has just been *amazing*. Packaging has never been easier and there's absolutely no jank. Everyone that worked on that should be proud because it's *really good*.
