Welcome to XLibre on Arch Linux!

[callmetango]

We welcome anyone interested in running or packaging XLibre on/for Arch Linux. There are already two solutions:

XLibre PGKBUILDs for Arch-based Systems

@artist4xlibre created and maintains the X11Libre/pkgbuilds-arch-based Github repository for PKGBUILD files and binary packages for Arch Linux based distributions. You may want to see the README over there for the first steps.

If you are already set up, then please have a look at the existing discussions. Your question may have been answered by now. 😉 If not, then please feel free to create a new discussion here in this category.

Please report any issues with this repository at Issues · X11Libre/pkgbuilds-arch-based.

XLibre Git PGKBUILDs in the Arch User Repository (AUR)

@artist4xlibre also created and maintains Git-based PGKBUILDs for XLibre over at the Arch User Repository (AUR). You may want to start at xlibre-server - Arch User Repository (AUR). A little further down the page you will find instructions on how to get things going.

There are also other PGKBUILDs from vitaliikuzhdin that have known issues and the author refuses to cooperate. Therefore, their use is not recommended.

A side note: Please comment on this pinned discussion here only if it is necessary to add or change some aspects of it.

The AUR link points to a PKGBUILD maintained by vitaliikuzhdin, not artist4xlibre.
Also, using github URLs for a pacman repo won't work because Github detects and blocks it.

The AUR link show the maintainer as 'xlibre', which is our account. The (vitaliikuzhdin) after 'xlibre' means he's co-maintainer.
The pacman repo on github does work, many users have tested and are using it, but we are working on moving it outside github asap.
