Notice of Repository Reorganisation

Since mid-November, we have been preparing for the reorganisation of the Univalent Linux repository, and now that the system is in place and NHK-BS has been reorganised, we're opening it up to the public soon.

How does this impact UVE users?

• The univalent-stable will be split into univalent (Univalent-specific packages) and multivalent (pre-built AUR packages).
  • Since multivalent does not contain any UVE-specific packages, it can be used by other Arch-based distros.
• The univalent-stable is scheduled to be abolished in late March next year. Until then, the update will continue as a transition period.
• AUR-derived packages from the univalent-testing repository are now independent as multivalent-testing.

You will need to modify the pacman.conf file (/etc/pacman.conf by default). Also, don't forget to add multivalent-testing for those using univalent-testing.

# The following paths are commented out with their default values listed.
# If you wish to use different paths, uncomment and update the paths.

# By default, pacman accepts packages signed by keys that its local keyring
# trusts (see pacman-key and its man page), as well as unsigned packages.
SigLevel    = Required DatabaseOptional
LocalFileSigLevel = Optional
#RemoteFileSigLevel = Required

# NOTE: You must run `pacman-key --init` before first using pacman; the local
# keyring can then be populated with the keys of all official Arch Linux
# packagers with `pacman-key --populate archlinux`.

#
# REPOSITORIES
#   - can be defined here or included from another file
#   - pacman will search repositories in the order defined here
#   - local/custom mirrors can be added here or in separate files
#   - repositories listed first will take precedence when packages
#     have identical names, regardless of version number
#   - URLs will have $repo replaced by the name of the current repo
#   - URLs will have $arch replaced by the name of the architecture
#
# Repository entries are of the format:
#       [repo-name]
#       Server = ServerName
#       Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.
#

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.
