[INFO] New package - manjaro-get-iso application

Python script for downloading the latest ISO as release, review or preview ISO.

[root tip] [Utility Script] Using python to download and verify a Manjaro ISO

The official release ISO is linked on manjaro.org/products/download/x86

Only the Gnome, Plasma and Xfce editions are available as review and preview ISO.

They are built using github CI at regular intervals.

  • reviews are based on stable branch and builds weekly
  • previews are based on unstable branch and builds nightly

The script default to store the downloaded ISO in the current working directory if it is writable, if not it falls back your your home folder.

The script will fetch the SHA256 checksum and GPG signature and verify the downloaded files for consistency before writing them to the target storage location.

The script can be directed to use an arbitrary writable path and as such it can write directly to a mounted ventoy prepared USB stick.

Example - removable ventoy device mounted using file manager

get-iso xfce --full --review --out-dir /run/media/$USER/Ventoy

Combine this package with package udev-usb-sync and the USB stick is ready to use when copying has finished.

[INFO] New package - udev-usb-sync
