Another unstable branch update with some usual package updates for you.
GNOME 45
Manual intervention is required.
Our custom gnome-shell-maia package has been dropped. Update and install gnome-shell instead:
sudo pacman -Syu gnome-shell
Extensions that target older GNOME versions will not work in GNOME 45.
It is recommended to remove all third-party extensions before updating, then install the compatible versions after updating and rebooting. All Most extensions in the Manjaro repos are already updated.
Should we keep Geary as the default mail client on the GNOME full ISO, replace it or include no email client at all? The GNOME minimal ISO currently does not ship with one.
AUR (Arch User Repository) packages are neither supported by Arch nor Manjaro. Posts about them in Announcement topics are off-topic and will be flagged, moved or removed without warning.
When are we gonna switch manjaro-pipewire from pipewire-media-session to wireplumber ?
Its still the recommended one in our repos, but is considered deprecated everywhere else.
Yes. But if system produced from iso installation have pipewire-media-session installed by default then installing manjaro-pipewire package will result in using deprecated pipewire-media-session instead of wireplumber?
For the three people who are brave enough to attempt to use ZFS:
ZFS extramodules; i.e., linuxXX-zfs, have been dropped from the repos. There have been recent difficulties building them and no one on the Manjaro Team uses ZFS.
Please install zfs-dkms instead. You will to need to manually remove the old 2.1.13 extramodule package(s) first to install the new 2.2.0 packages; i.e., with linux61:
==> ERROR: Failed to load preset: '/etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset'
error: command failed to execute correctly
