Valkey to replace Redis in the [extra] Repository
2025-04-17 - Andrew Crerar
Valkey, a high-performance key/value datastore, will be replacing redis in the [extra] repository. This change is due to Redis modifying its license from BSD-3-Clause to RSALv2 and SSPLv1 on March 20th, 2024.
Arch Linux Package Maintainers intend to support the availability of the redis package for roughly 14 days from the day of this post, to enable a smooth transition to valkey. After the 14 day transition period has ended, the redis package will be moved to the AUR. Also, from this point forward, the redis package will not receive any additional updates and should be considered deprecated until it is removed.
Users are recommended to begin transitioning their use of Redis to Valkey as soon as possible to avoid possible complications after the 14 day transition window closes.
Manjaro, like many other open-source projects, relies on the generosity of its community through donations and corporate sponsorships to support its growth and development. These donations are essential in covering the various expenses incurred in the operations of the project such as server costs, software development tools, infrastructure expenses, training, flying people to events or conferences and the salaries of key developers. With the help of these donations, Manjaro is able to secure the necessary financial stability that allows the project to continuously improve and remain active. If you love Manjaro, consider to donate!
As you might have seen some of our team were able to attend FOSDEM 2023 and the conference proved to be incredibly productive for us. See our blog post for more.
Finding information easier about Manjaro always has been a topic that needed to be solved. With our new search we have put all Manjaro data accessible in one place and divided by sections so it makes it easier to digest: News – Manjaro
You will need to rebuild any AUR Python packages that install files to site-packages or link to libpython3.12.so.
Print a list of of packages that have files in /usr/lib/python3.12/ :
pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.12/
Rebuild them all at once:*
pamac build $(pacman -Qoq /usr/lib/python3.12)
Use rebuild-detector to see if anything else needs to be rebuilt:
checkrebuild
* It’s recommended to clean your build cache first with pamac clean --build-files
Info about AUR packages
AUR (Arch User Repository) packages are neither supported by Arch nor Manjaro. Posts about them in Announcements topics are off-topic and will be flagged, moved or removed without warning.
For help with AUR packages, please create a new topic in Support > AUR and a helpful volunteer may be able to assist you.
To disable fallback image creation on older installed systems
Change PRESETS=('default' 'fallback') line to PRESETS=('default') in the respective .preset files in /etc/mkinitcpio.d/.
Regenerate initramfs - sudo mkinitcpio -P
Update boot loader - sudo update-grub
Warning
Disabling all fallback initramfs generation will deprive you of another option to boot into the system in case a default initramfs fails. Before proceeding, make sure you have a bootable installation medium for rescue purposes on hand.
Testing is having more and more issues on my end. Today I got a complete freeze of the system, the first time since ages.

Something positive (as this is seldom in the current days …):
With the last update the time for wakeup from sleep is visibly faster - I would tend to compare it 2-3 times faster in comparison to the time before this update
Visible on 3 different laptops with different GPUs, so this is not related to the graphic driver but to the system (Gnome, systemd, …) itself
