pacman -Qqm # list non-repo packages
pacman -Qqe # list explicitly installed packages
pacman -Qdt # list orphaned depends
Package updates will be paused for a while as pushing to AUR is curr…

Our security measures are working perfectly so far and have already prevented a few of them from getting deployed.
Please be extra careful when updating packages directly from AUR in the coming days! Especially watch out for the addition of an npm or bun dependency and an additional .install script in PKGBUILDs.

These 52 new mirrors are operated by the chaotic-aur operations team on donated servers, more than doubling chaotic-aur's previous mirror count.
Getting all of these servers online has been a massive undertaking, but now we have better mirror coverage than ever before: https://status.chaotic.cx/map

All country mirrors (for example, in-mirror) will redirect:
1. All users in the country to the closest mirror in that country
2. All users in other countries to a random (persistent) mirror in that country (To prevent the mirrors on country borders getting overwhelmed)
If all mirrors in a country are unavailable, router will return an applicable error code
Geo-mirror will keep wor…

Some good news for Chaotic-AUR users: after the rising count of cases of malware in AUR, we now have a system of a trusted maintainer's list in place. This list is being checked before updating packages silently like before. There are multiple outcomes:
1. All maintainers are trusted -> silently update package like before
2. At least one maintainer is untrusted (sadly, the AUR API does not s…

This time the focus was pretty much on improving the way we retrieve information, as well as enhancing the amount of information shown to end users and maintainers while improving the look and feel to be more modern than before.
Some highlights include:
- A new mirror page showing the router's data (the same…

After the recent outage steps have been taken to optimize it, effectively ending up in a Typescript rewrite.
Special thanks going to TNE, who implemented the changes! 🚀

Showing the 12 most recent of 20 posts we hold for @chaotic_aur. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
