Hi,

Manjaro ARM Unstable Update Topic For July.

Thanks to the Manjaro ARM devs for their hard work.
The Manjaro x86_64 devs are involved too, thanks to them.

Currently the only maintained branch for ARM is unstable branch.

It’s time for you to update your ARM device(s) running Manjaro ARM, whatever your ARM device(s) or desktop environment.

Glad to see old ARM users coming back, as well as newcomers. (the more the merrier)

Manjaro uses a Rolling Release Development Model

Today’s sync with arch-arm on unstable was 408 packages.

The new vlc had a ton of optional dependencies. I installed these packages to get all of them:

vlc-plugins-all vlc-plugins-extra vlc-plugins-visualization vlc-gui-ncurses vlc-gui-skins2
