This is an interesting request, I missed the news! https://www.phoronix.com/news/KDE-Plasma-6.6-Beta

Unfortunately, to quote the repo: Plasma / Plasma Login Manager · GitLab

Caution
It is not recommended to install this on your system — you should use a virtual machine instead. Installing this on real hardware will leave behind files not trivially uninstallable and could leave your system in a non-functional state.

The wiki page has a warning too: Plasma Login Manager - ArchWiki

Plasma Login is currently not considered ready for real-world usage.

Finally, there are some concerns with the AUR package, some as indicated in the comments: AUR (en) - plasma-login-manager-git

Until it is possible to install without breakage, it’s not right for us to add. I expect stable versions to enter the extra repo as soon as it is ready for use.

[Technetium]

Thanks for reporting this. It was manually bumped by xiota, however I have added a trigger for libraw, so this should resolve itself via automatic bump and rebuild in the future: feat(nomacs): add libraw rebuild trigger (3d62dafa) · Commits · Chaotic-AUR / PKGBUILDs · GitLab

[Apocalypticus]

Definitely the right decision not to include it yet. I installed it about two weeks ago despite the warnings. When I tried to update it a few days ago, of course, I also ran into the problem that libplasma was not available in the required version. I then activated the testing repos and kde unstable to be able to update it.
It works, but some things behave differently than described on the GitHub page.

Librewolf package is having some build issue again, “line 112: _cksum: parameter null or not set”

Any manual interaction needed?

[Technetium]

Thanks! This is caused by the move to Codeberg, our update.sh script must be revised. When fixed, it should update as expected.
EDIT: It has been resolved feat(librewolf): update update script · chaotic-aur/packages@8f2d149 · GitHub

Please add

AUR (en) - 1password

[Technetium]

Their license prevents us from distributing:

Hello can someone explain why some packages are available on AUR but I can’t and install them from terminal ?

By exemple I wanted to install simpleX Chat and found the AUR page. I also found a request on Github to be added at Chaotic-Aur but it was closed as “not planned” with no further explanation. Is there a specific reason for that ?

[dr460nf1r3]

@Synnefo

but it was closed as “not planned” with no further explanation

Closed by the person requesting it and not by us, so probably there wasn’t any more use for it you can feel free to create a new issue for adding it.

For installing AUR packages from AUR you can use paru.

Firestorm Viewer for Second Life does not have the latest version; other versions are all the same; Git version is outdated.

[Kayo]

That is an issue for the AUR maintainers. Chaotic-AUR doesn’t even serve those packages.

[Technetium]

Someone else asked me privately about this before. The AUR maintainers of the firestorm packages are very inactive. You can pull firestorm-beta yourself, edit PKGBUILD to have the latest tag, and run updpkgsums.

Also the optional deps are not actually optional:

sudo paru -Syu --asdeps alsa-lib freealut gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-ugly gstreamer lib32-alsa-lib lib32-freealut

Looks like KDE Plasma is developing so quickly, the infrastructure can’t keep up. Is there a chance for the fantastic ‘chaotic-aur’ team to do another patch on ocs-url? We’re getting ‘can not validate’ etc errors when trying to install.

[CallMeAl]

Is it possible to upgrade Waterfox?

[Technetium]

Regretfully it might be dead (finally): AUR (en) - ocs-url

It still builds, but it doesn’t work, but that’s because the developers behind the websites Pling, OpenDesktop, OpenCode, and projects like pling-store, ocs-store, ocs-url, opendesktop-app, etc have all been abandoned for 4 years with no sign of activity besides maintenance to keep the websites operational.

I am likely to drop it from Chaotic-AUR soon if there is no activity

[Technetium]

This is maintained by someone on the AUR, and has been flagged since December 19. As soon as it is updated, the new version will build automatically.

[Duke187]

maybe use the beta-bin ? paru -S waterfox-beta-bin

[Technetium]

As indicated in the maintainer’s comment, and the release page Releases · BrowserWorks/waterfox · GitHub there are no beta releases since many months, and apparently won’t be until the next version. I’m unfamiliar with the beta maintainer, however we have provided other things from envolution and historically their CI for updates worked well. I hesitate to point users to a source that has a higher than average chance of breaking a profile on update, but it will be considered if this isn’t updated soon. See more here:
