Notification when the migration starts, and when it is completed, will be published on the [arch-dev-public] mailing list.
# How does this impact Arch Linux users?The [testing] repository will be split into [core-testing] and [extra-testing], the [staging] repository will be split into [core-staging] and [extra-staging]. The [community] repository will be merged into [extra] and will therefore be empty after the migration.
All affected repositories will be provided as empty repositories for a transition period after the migration. For regular users, this means that everything works as before.
Note: After the migration is done, users that have the testing repositories enabled need to include the new repositories ([core-testing] and [extra-testing] instead of [testing]) in their pacman.conf before updating their system.
Other changes: - SVN access is discontinued and will disappear. [1] - The svn2git mirror will no longer be updated.- asp, which relies on the svn2git mirror, will stop working. It is replaced by pkgctl repo clone. [2]
# How does this impact Arch Linux tier 1 mirrors?During the migration rsync and HTTP access will be shut down. We will send an email notification to arch-mirrors once everything has been finished.
# How does this impact Arch Linux packagers?Packagers will not be able to patch and update their packages. The internal Tier 0 mirror is also going to be disabled for the duration of this migration.
