Difference between revisions of "Arch User Repository"

Although Manjaro is 100% Arch compatible - being based on Arch itself - it is not possible access the official repositories of the Arch System to download software. Manjaro instead uses its own official repositories in order to ensure that any software packages provided (e.g. system updates and applications) have been fully tested and are completely stable before release. However, it is still possible to access additional software packages from the ''Arch User Repository'' (AUR), which is managed by the Arch community (i.e. users) themselves. Although this repository is unofficial, software packages and applications first placed here are known to make their way into Arch's official repositories if they become popular enough.
