Artix Linux Forum

I use libcgroup-openrc-git. It's a fully working package but I didn't know what I could do with it other than use it myself, as it's an openrc Artix package so might not be suitable for the AUR, especially as I don't have a straight Arch install to test it with, and Artix package guidelines say no git packages.
The patch came from their mailing list, they were very helpful. AFAIK (which may not be that far ) it's the best most full featured cgroup manager, and it's not had a release for a few years as cgroup management functionality has been added to systemd leaving other methods as a low priority I suppose. But a lot of useful commits have been added since the last release, so the git version should be better.
Had you also noticed ionice has been broken due to kernel changes? This also breaks btrfs scrub niceness. The recommendation is to use cgroups instead.
Here's the PKGBUILD and associated files (it provides / conflicts with the  libcgroup AUR pkg so it won't cause a problem if you had that installed before):
