Attention: Using this repository WILL automatically replace Plasma packages with Sonic-DE ones.

Attention: Both Sonic-DE and this package repository are under heavy development, so might at times not
be completely stable. Use at your own risk.

Attention: Artix Linux will add a repository simlar to this. When this becomes availble all Artix Linux
Sonic-DE users should switch to it.

Attention: This repository can be used by systemd and non-systemd Arch Linux based distributions; on
the latter ones the systemd specific files will be replaced by placeholder files. Note that this is not
yet done for all files.


Why this repo?

It is not possible to provide all currently available Sonic-DE packages for Artix Linux and other Arch
Linux bases distributions without replacing their Plasma counterparts. This is due to pacman not
considering a pkgbuild's 'provides' clause for indirect dependencies in case there is also a direct
name match, unless a 'replaces' clause is added. Doing this would preclude users from using Plasma
packages for which a Sonic-DE counterpart exists.

To offer the Sonic-DE packages without affecting the Plasma ones this separate repository has been
created. Adding this to the pacman.conf file acts as an opt-in to allow automatic replacing of Plasma
packages by avaialble Sonic-DE ones.


How to add this repository?

1. In /etc/pacman.conf add the following, ABOVE the world/extra one:
[sonicde]
Server = https://x11libre.net/repo/arch_based/x86_64/sonicde/

2. Add the public package signing key:
Note this is not needed for Artix Linux users.
$ curl -sS https://x11libre.net/repo/arch_based/x86_64/0x73580DE2EDDFA6D6.gpg | sudo pacman-key --add -
$ sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 73580DE2EDDFA6D6
