Switching Branches/fa

بررسی اجمالی

توجه

---

بسته‌های که ویژه برای مانجارو ساخته‌شده که از شاخه آزمایشی یا شاخه ناپایدار بارگیری و نصب شده‌اند، طبیعتاً کاملاً آزمایش نشده‌اند و ممکن است ناپایدار باشند. لطفاً برای اطلاعاتی مهم درباره تعمیر و نگهداری به بخش تعمیر و نگهداری سیستم مراجعه کنید.

Summing up, Manjaro packages start their lives in the unstable branch. Once they are a deemed stable, they are moved to the testing branch, where more tests will be realized to ensure the package is ready to be submitted to the stable branch.

Note on unstable branch

---

Remember: Manjaro specific packages such as kernels, kernel modules and Manjaro applications enter the repo on unstable branch and it is those packages which are considered unstable when they enter.

Unmodifed packages synced from Arch repo are considered stable as they have already been vetted by Archlinux Community.

Changing to another branch

Have you considered?

Why not become an active part of the Manjaro community by becoming a tester?

In order to access a branch, you need to change your pacman-mirrors configuration.

You should substitute the value colored in green (for illustrative purposes only) to one of the following: stable, testing or unstable.

sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch {branch}

After you changed the branch, rebuild the mirrorlist and update your packages:

sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syyu

Questions

How do I go back after changing to one of the testing branches?

Going back to the stable branch is easy. All you have to do is to repeat the above, and use stable as the branch value.

Be aware that after switching to a more stable branch you will receive messages from pacman, informing about newer packages installed than available in the repo. Don't be alarmed as the situation will resolve itself when the packages reaches your current branch.

If for whatever reason you do wish to also 'downgrade' packages while changing branches add an extra u to the pacman command:

sudo pacman -Syyuu
