I just wanted to write to say thank for you kibojoe. It’s my favorite
edition of Manjaro. I was wondering if it will continue to be
maintained. I just noticed that the domain (kibojoe.org) expired
yesterday, and whenever I try to update my system I know get the follow
error:

:: Starting full system upgrade…
error: could not open file /var/lib/pacman/sync/kibojoe.db: Unrecognized
archive format
there is nothing to do

I really hope you continue to maintain kibojoe. It’s such a sweet, fast
spin.

Many thanks in advance!

Try from terminal
sudo pacman -Syyu
pacli seems to have a bit of hang-over …

Update the mirrors first and then for the newer than extra add one more u to the update command:
sudo pacman-mirrors -f5 && sudo pacman -Syyuu

I would edit your /etc/pacman.conf and comment the section with [kibojoe].

I like Kibojoe very much, but last iso is just too old now, so I used Kibojoe scripts and installed Manjaro JWM from scratch with Manjaro Architect, it flies on old laptop (2 x 1 GHz and 3 GB of RAM). I would suggest anyone who wants JWM on Manjaro do the same. Good to see JWM is still being developed and version 2.4 is on the way.
