Why is qt6-serialport and qt6-multimedia available on Arch Linux repositories but not on manjaro?

I know that those packages are only available on the Repo ‘KDE-Unstable’. Is there a way I can get those?

We only sync Arch’s stable repos. KDE-Unstable is one of their testing repos. If you want to help test those packages before they land in Arch stable or Manjaro, install Arch and add their testing repos.

Understood. That is what I wanted to know. Thanks.

Manjaro also has a kde-unstable repo - I expect you to know the implications of adding in the repo.

You can add it in pacman.conf - add it between [core] and [extra] for best result.

[kde-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

Right, but we don’t have the packages he’s asking about yet. That’s why I didn’t mention it.

Ah - I see - sorry to have mixed it in.

I can see a lot of qt6- packages in the repo - so this is not all qt6- packages yet?

7

I see. I duck about it, is the list of available packages of kde-unstable repo this one? Because I cannot see the qt6-serialport and qt6-multimedia packages in this list.

actually qt is at 6.1 on manjaro. qt didn’t integrate all modules on this version. Among them multimedia and serial port.
It’s available on qt6.2 which is beta. 6.2 LTS is planned for the end of september.
