I wolud appreciate disabling the Arch repos but where to

So help us determining which most used packages to add to our repos.

Except for the monsters like browsers, almost everything goes, but no AUR please.

Some programs that I use daily (not sure about AUR/not-AUR though):

Code: [Select]

isync
lagrange
mutt-wizard
neovim
neovim-qt
pass

Other than that, suckless programs, but those were meant to be compiled from source anyway, so I usually clone them manually from my own forks.

please check before you posted, which package are from AUR and which from archlinux.
mutt-wizard lagrange are from AUR surely, pass and isync can we import, neovim/-qt i will import

@alium: Sorry, I might do a more thorough check later. I use a number of programs, both from Arch repositories and AUR. For example, I just remembered notmuch, which is used together with isync in Luke Smith's mutt-wizard. I'll update the list later, and without AUR packages of course.

Bash/zsh one-liner for checking what packages in your system are in Arch's repo's, but not on Artix's:

Code: [Select]

# First outputs all packages, then greps packages in Arch's three repos, then reverse-greps what's already in Artix's repos.
pacman -Qq | grep -Fxf <(pacman -Slq extra community multilib) | grep -Fxvf <(pacman -Slq system world galaxy lib32)

I'm kind of surprised of the size of the output in my case, and some of these packages I don't even use anymore. After removing what I don't use, I'll post them here.

Just as future information, for whom may be pertinent, the wiki now has an dedicated explanation about the subject.

EDIT:
The only package I use from arch repository is: sbcl
(steel bank common lisp implementation)

Update: Can community/moreutils be added? I find vipe(1) useful, for example to edit .ogg comments using vim with

Code: [Select]

$ vorbiscomment -l song.ogg | vipe | vorbiscomment -w -c - song.ogg

I had given it the old college try, and this is what I am left with from Arch:

Code: [Select]

dictd 
dina-font
fzf
girara
gnu-free-fonts
libmaa
lxappearance
mpc
ncmpcpp
nicotine+
ranger
sxiv
tamsyn-font
tcpdump
unclutter
xdotool
xorg-xdpyinfo
xorg-xev
zathura
zathura-djvu
zathura-pdf-mupdf
zathura-ps

A few here are a good fit for the repos. Much of mine are also compiled from suckless. From the AUR I have mksh, and I am interested to know if there is any testing or consideration in packaging that.

This is quite annoying now.... I can't even install tcpdump anymore other than getting the -git version from AUR? Isn't tcpdump a basic must have all distro's ship with?

I ran the one-liner above and here's my list:

Code: [Select]

 android-file-transfer
android-tools
android-udev
blueman
bluez-tools
clementine
discord
gkrellm
gtkglext
libcurl-gnutls
liblastfm-qt5
libmygpo-qt5
lshw
mypaint-brushes
notepadqq
portmidi
tcpdump
terminator

From the community repository

I had PGP key issues for ncdu recently, but they have since been resolved.

Thanks!

But, I'm trying to avoid the Arch repos, so hopefully one of the devs see this
