Here are some basic guidelines about dealing with our repos and packages. Following them should keep most problems away.

Our Repositories

A listing of all our repositories (also simply called "repos") can be found here. To make use of any of them, just add it to your /etc/pacman.conf file. If you use a GUI frontend to pacman, use whatever method it uses to create more repository entries. Please remember that any problems with the entries may require manual editing at the command line interface (CLI) by typing nano /etc/pacman.conf as root.
