Hi everyone! Is there a place I can learn how the Manjaro repos are updated? For instance, who updates the thousands of software in the stable repo?
Thanks!

Lot’s of the part is automated.
The origin of many packages that are build the same are using the Arch’s packages. Arch Linux - Package Search
The packages you isntall from AUR has nothing to do with Manjaro development, they are for all major Arch based distributions.
However Manjaro has more packages than Arch linux has because they are projects Manjaro specific like MHWD.
Thanks for the info! How does someone submit their software to the Manjaro repo (since it is different than arch)?
They are mostly in sync as far as I know.
The packaging is the same, no difference there.
- what does this software do ?
- is something new or already known and doesn’t exist in AUR either ?
- who maintains the software and where is the source located: gitlab or github ?
You can showcase it here in the forum if is yours, and the team will decide about a PCKBUILD.

Install pacui and browse the installed packages with option 4 X

Press number or marked letter H Help 0 Quit
You get the list of installed packages which you can remove (but don’t hit Enter to remove the package, pres Esc instead to leave; or better avoid it and see the alternative). You can enter the first letters or some letters from the middle of the package name and get a filtered list.
(Can’t find a current video how it works.)
[Recommendation]: Select option X List packages by size, it will list the installed packages by size, and you can still filter the list.
Enter string to filter list > gc < 10/1372

And there you see "Packager: ", here it is an Arch packager. For Manjaro packages you will see a packager from the Manjaro Team.
Does @excalibur1234 still work on pacui, I didn’t see much pacui activity what’ve happen to him?
This is in addition to the above responses.
These links are from the main menu:
- Status of mirrors: https://repo.manjaro.org/
- Branch Compare: Packages
- Diagram of the process: Manjaro Features
Also:
- Arch official repositories doc: Official repositories - ArchWiki
- Watch the Announcement forums: Announcements - Manjaro Linux Forum
This is probably, imho, the most important resource to partly answer your question.
Manjaro Testing receives Archlinux repositories on a daily basis (if I’m reading the diagram correctly). Does this include community, core, extra? linux-doc is in the Archlinux Core, but not Manjaro. So there is some selection going on?
Update: The above SHOULD HAVE been Manjaro Unstable and not Testing.

you can see all pacui-related activity on github:
i have not developed major new features for a while, but pacui is still my favorite “package manager” and i use it almost every day.
i have not taken a look at the github page for a while, it seems there are new pull requests and issues waiting. have to take a look at them…

No problem, I thought you left as your profile is hidden from public 
, the one PR from me is for Arch’s sake. I still cannot wrap my head around that they banished it from AUR.
Yes I do too 
excellent script
Not quite. Backup one step in the diagram, you’ll see Unstable gets daily updates. 
Yes, and multilib.
Some Arch-specific packages are not in the Manjaro repo. Some will not work and some are not applicable since Manjaro has it’s own kernel and packages.
Thank you all for the fantastic information!
What about dde himself?
