Can there be an announcement in the near future? It has been awfully quiet around here.
Which repo? Please explain.
… and why?
sudo pacman -Syu
and you’ll see what might have changed before you say yes to commit to the update …
inxi was the only one thing that got updated since the last time I checked
Um, guys, you did notice the category this was posted in, right? It’s the category for Manjaro Summit, the immutable branch of Manjaro.
Nothing gets updated via pacman in Summit; an update is a completely new btrfs snapshot that gets rolled out as an atomic image. 
I’m sure there will be one, once the new snapshot is ready. Summit is not rolling — quite the opposite — and any changes happening in the background are to be regarded as analogous to the percolation of packages via the regular Unstable, Testing and Stable branches.

No, I didn’t.
Whenever I hear or read that keyword, I will immediately disengage from now on.
… as I actually know absolutely nothing about it.

Surely that’s GOOD news, right? Testing was 4 days ago, everything seems pretty smooth - though a few posters have been having issues (maybe specific to their hardware).
If you subscribe to the announcement thread in your feed reader, then you’ll never miss it.
However, there’s nothing stopping you from doing a quick manjaro-mirrors check and running -Syu to check once a week.
What are you waiting for?
I don’t know the exact plans for the immutable edition - but I would not expect it to be as rolling as the other editions.
It is ready when it is ready.
My personal thoughts - looking through my glasses - I see the immutable best supported on systems where everything is supported by upstream kernel - that means - expect nvidia to be the problem child.

What feed? I see no RSS links on this website.
You just need to add .rss to the end of the URL of the forum section or tag. Some examples:

Thank you for that. The instructions for this are not in a obvious place for users unfamiliar with the forum software. Also, I saw no testing announcement for Summit in the feed.
I would be surprised if you did 
I wouldn’t be surprised if something do happen in the coming week.

Yes, I’d missed that part - the immutable edition won’t be getting such regular updates; it’s the nature of the beast.
Was there a specific need? Personally, when I get no updates for a week or so I tend not to worry - if it’s running okay then I just enjoy.

I am not running it at the moment as I was never given an answer to my question about overlays. How does one install software without getting blasted out of existence in the next atomic update? Flatpak is not an option as there is no AMD rocm-opencl support inside of flatpak and appimages are going to get broken real soon due to the deprecation of a fuse library used by all appimages that has been deemed deadly dangerous. (I apologize for the alliteration)
Maybe.
The latest version of Arkdep has an overlay feature. eg. arkdep layer rocm-core, it will install this package whenever it does a new deployment.

Thanks. I will give it a try after my class this weekend. Is there a link to the latest build somewhere? Also, has COSMIC been updated to Alpha 6?
I’d wait for a new build to drop. The old ISO is very out of date.

I have been playing with this for just a few weeks and I am stunned how easy this is. Just read the docs.arkanelinux.org and you will be spinning your own deployment withing hours.
It is insanely easy to deploy an image - there is no need to wait for an official release - this is even easier than using manjaro-tools to create an ISO.
I had a private project similar to this - same concept - and I was stuck and put it on my pickup again some time.
Then @dennis1248 joined the team and I heard of ArkaneLinux for the first time.
The arkdep-build concept is exceeding the wildest dreams I had for my personal project.
