In case someone didn't understand, that was an April's Fools post. I'm removing that package right now.

#ANNOUNCEMENT #MIRRORS
We're welcoming two new mirrors:
* EasyLee is replacing Var's mirror in Netherlands, thanks Eric
* Ptr1337 is now available as de-3-mirror, thanks Ptr1337

Update your chaotic-mirrorlist to 20210501-1, and remember to watch out if the update won't get stuck with the suffix .pacnew.
Or, if you prefer to handle it manually: https://aur.chaotic.cx/mirrorlist.txt

For those asking why the "chaotic-mirrorlist" and "chaotic-keyring" disappeared from AUR:
https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2021-May/052472.html
https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-requests/2021-May/052864.html

They're now mirrored here:
https://github.com/chaotic-aur/pkgbuild-chaotic-mirrorlist
https://github.com/chaotic-aur/pkgbuild-chaotic-keyring

Sorry for the inconvenience, but those are AUR rules and are out of our reach...

EDIT: More explanation in this thread: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/aur-general/2021-May/036195.html

EDIT2: One of the chaotic's user did try to counter-argument them: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1972121 (require account to see it now)

#UPDATE

We got one of those back, so we're back to hourly builds! Package adoption is still slow as we don't have 100% of our processing power back.

#ANNOUNCEMENT #INTERRUPTION

Our database got corrupt in a Btrfs bug. It will take some time to re-index all packages. We hope to have it back to normal in 5 hrs.

Everything's back to normal

#ANNOUNCEMENT #MIRRORS

We have a new mirror in Germany ran by redgloboli.
Update your chaotic-mirrorlist to 20210516-1, and remember to watch out if the update won't get stuck with the suffix .pacnew.

#ANNOUNCEMENT #TKG

Hello everybody,

Following the release of GCC11 in ArchLinux's core repository, the idea now is to follow the official ArchLinux's project trend and have everything optimized for "x86-64-v3" or falling back to the "v1".

As the first move, we're now dropping all "architecture-specific" packages of the beloved "linux-tkg". You'll find in the repo either the generic one (e.g: "linux-tkg-bmq"), and a v3-optimized one (e.g: "linux-tkg-bmq-generic_v3").

Thanks to that PDS and CFS builds are back!

NOTE: In the future, once ArchLinux has the new v3 repos working well, we'll then move the v3-optimized under our v3 repos without the "-generic_v3" suffix.

#ANNOUNCEMENT #MAINTAINANCE

Please note, the primary node will be offline for the following hours. Don't expect package updates. Meanwhile, mirrors will keep providing packages built until now.

Everything's back online, resuming builds...

If you're running on keys problems while updating, run:
sudo pacman-key --populate chaotic
sudo pacman -Sy chaotic-keyring
sudo pacman -Su


If you're running with keys problem while first installing chaotic, rely on Ubuntu's Keyserver, like:
pacman-key --recv-key 3056513887B78AEB --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com

#ANNOUNCEMENT #MIRRORS

We have a new mirror in India ran by virusz4274.
Update your chaotic-mirrorlist to 20210716-1, and remember to watch out if the update won't get stuck with the suffix .pacnew.
Or, if you prefer to handle it manually: https://aur.chaotic.cx/mirrorlist.txt

I accidentally broke the default gateway, everything will 404 while I fix it...

Should be fixed

#WINE #PROTON #MANUAL #INTERVENTION

Wine upstream is moving to Vista+ user folder architecture, if you use proton-ge or proton-tkg, you might want to delete the compatdata of your games.

To have a better community experience, more inclusive and respectful, we now have adopted a CoC: https://github.com/chaotic-aur/code-of-conduct

We expect all the community members and staffers to respect it.

#ANNOUNCEMENT #TKG #KERNELS

Today we're building 5.14 linux-tkg-{pds,bmq,cacule} and 5.13 linux-tkg-muqss. CFS ones are already in 5.14.

Note: There isn't bcachefs and fsync in 5.14 yet (but there is futext2).

We're currently experiencing issues with the router and CDN. Sorry for the inconvenience.

EDIT: Updates in comments.

Chaotic-AUR turns three years old! 🥳


That may not be a long road for a human, but it has been quite a journey:

- We now have between 65k and 70k users per month;
- Chaotic-AUR now offers more than 2470 packages;
- Our Mirrorlist grew to 15 mirrors (including a CDN one);
- Our single builder got replaced by several distributed servers;
- We got a domain and enabled an intelligent geo-mirror to govern it;
- There is more than one distro recommending us.


And to commemorate this special date, we're asking for your help to build a memorial: 📚

- We just built a package called chaotic-neofetch-git, go ahead and install it;
- Then you can run the executable: chaotic-neofetch (you can use --frog, or --garuda for extra sauces)
- Screenshot your desktop or just the terminal, and then send it to us:
- By email: memorial@chaotic.cx
- By telegram: @chaotic_aur_sac (or reply this post, or DM @pedrohlc)
- By PR: https://github.com/chaotic-aur/memorial


My special thanks to everybody that helped us this last year, especially the Chaotic-AUR staff—also, thanks to everyone that provided good ideas and suggestions in the chat.

We'll be extending the submissions until tomorrow's night.
