I don't think this is the right approach here. We should consider [core] will be the repository only devs will have full access, including the testing stage. Mission critical packages should be in [core]. Also it should give you a decent linux console system, with which you can handle your tasks . greetings tpowa -- Tobias Powalowski Arch Linux Developer & Package Maintainer (tpowa) https://www.archlinux.org tp...@archlinux.org Archboot Developer https://bit.ly/archboot St. Martin-Apotheke Herzog-Georg-Str. 25 89415 Lauingen https://www.st-martin-apo.de i...@st-martin-apo.de
