Hi everyone,

As you might have heard by now redis got a new license and *some* forks were 
created [1].
Valkey as one of them is developed by the Linux Foundation, and adopted by 
Fedora already [2].
So we think it's a good step to follow that path and replace redis by valkey.

# Valkey to replace Redis in the [extra] Repository

valkey, a modern in-memory data store, will soon 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[1].

Arch Linux Package Maintainers intend to support the availability of the redis 
package for roughly 
90 days from the day of this post, to enable a smooth transition to valkey. 
After the 90 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 90 day transition window closes.
