Hi there!
I have re-installed Artix in one of my computers and pacman is not finding some packages I had in the previous installation and still have in other machines, like for example Rosegarden, OpenShot and QSynth
I have not enabled Arch repositories in this installation so far, because
https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories (https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Repositories) states:
So I am wondering whether it is about time to try learning to build packages from source in Artix. Searched around and did not find anything specific for Artix, noticed a few references to art-tools and ABS.
I will be grateful for any links to relevant material or advice on how to get such packages installed without greater risks.
Much of what you asked is discussed in this thread. (I just had a job finding it again so I'm not suggesting you should have)

That was exactly the kind of info I was looking for.
Much appreciated, thank you!
I was really looking forward to find TFM.
These threads sound promising. Thanks!

OpenShot is in Arch repos. He doesn't want to mix them.
openshot is in the artix extra repos. I don't know how else to say thing and I showed it to you in the pacman command. Am I confused here?
I think you are. "extra" is arch's repo, not artix'.
I see. Thanks for the clarification. I didn't know that our pacman set up reached into any arch archives directly. Is extra the entire arch archive?
Yep. Just search here: https://packages.artixlinux.org/
openshot has been added to galaxy.
AFAIK it's not by default. Adding non-artix repos to pacman configuration is user's job if they need it.
I don't know what you meant by "archive". "Extra" is an official arch's software repository.

Thank you. That is a HUGE undertaking. I might like to help maintain it.
Well, it looks like it is every in arch that is not part of the core. What I meant was is extra the entire AUR?
Extra is extra, aur is aur. Please research wiki before asking. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository
