Using the AUR on Manjaro stable branch is officially supported this much - 
yt-dlp version 2024.03.10-1 is available on Unstable and Testing branches

I tried to install Persepolis package 3.2.0-8 from main repo but noticed its dependecy youtube-dl which is on AUR only and no longer maintained. Iām on stable branch.
Checking Packages shows that unstable/testing branch got updated persepolis package 4.0.1 which must have happend sometime in early/mid march. Commits Ā· main Ā· Arch Linux / Packaging / Packages / persepolis Ā· GitLab.
Persepolis 4.0.x changed dependency to yt-dlp which is on the main repo.
Is there a way to also get persepolis 4.0.1 on stable?

The easiest is to wait until 4.0.1 filters down to the lower levels. I imagine it wonāt be too far away.
Failing that, I notice Persepolis-git 4.0.1 is available with a yt-dlp dependency, if that will suffice in the meantime:

Vulnerability of Flatpak, please provide a newer version than 1.15.6 in Stable
The sandbox system is said to be able to run arbitrary code if the application includes such.
You can perform a simple test to verify whether your system is affected. [Run] any Flatpak application and run it with the
--command=--helpfollowed by the applicationās ID. If the system returns an error message stating that the help command is not found, your Flatpak installation is not vulnerable.
However, if it displays an output similar to that of the
bwrap --helpcommand, it means your version is still at risk.
So I did test it and selected one.ablaze.floorp from my apps listed in flatpak list
I have version
flatpak --version
Flatpak 1.15.6
And I concluded Stable is affected because this is the output of (replace āone.ablaze.floorpā with any long name of your installed apps listed under flatpak list)
flatpak run --command=--help one.ablaze.floorp ā at 14:02:17

From the above link:
Thankfully, the Flatpak team has promptly responded with patches to this vulnerability. Users are strongly encouraged to update their Flatpak installations to the following versions to ensure they are protected:
** [I think does not count for Manjaro Stable!]> [ For users on the stable branch, Flatpak version 1.14.6 or newer.]**
** For those on older stable branches, version 1.12.9 or 1.10.9 are the safe bets.**
** Developers using the developmental branch should update to version 1.15.8 or above.**
I think Manjaro based on Arch goes by the third option what they call developmental branch!

I guess we will get the fix pretty quickly. The updated version is already in testing branch, and since stable was not updated for over a month i think it will soon be time for an update, resp. that the testing versions hit stable.

Thank you for looking it up. I didnāt know I could update to the 1.15.8 version with manjaro-downgrade command. But maybe do not follow what I just did 
Will not run any flatpak now 
Sorry, not possible to fast-track it at this time. The flatpak package has quite a view other dependencies.
We have a testing and unstable branches for a reason. If users want to help the stable branch actually live up to itās namesake, the more users using the aforementioned other two branches will help with that. Keep in mind the Manjaro unstable branch is on par with Arch stable. Donāt let the branch name fool you.

Hello
The current version 0.9.35 of Manjaro contains a bug that prevents the import of videos. The developer has fixed the bug in version 0.9.36. Is it enough to make this known here, or is there a better way?
edit:
ok i understand. i mark it as out of date in the arch repos. is that correct?
Current version of what?

gpodder is using a module that is deprecated in python 3.12 and does not start at all. According to the issue in github there is already a patch and a new package in arch. Please fasttrack to all branches.

You have to ask arch about that, this is an arch package.

After last stable update, amule 2.3.3-8 stop working as seen here:
I have installed amule 2.3.3-9 from unstable repository and works fine. As is only one package, maybe it could be updated already.
