PKGBUILD notes

calamares

• _skip_modules includes dracut, initramfs, initramfscfg — these are systemd-holdovers not needed on Artix (uses mkinitcpio)
• -DCMAKE_DISTRIBUTION_NAME is a no-op — Calamares ignores it completely. The "for <distro>" text in the about dialog comes from versionedName in the active branding component at runtime. Do NOT add this flag.

calamares-branding-antergos-next

• Ships calamares-next.sh — installed as /usr/bin/calamares-next, the online installer launcher
• Ships both settings files: /etc/calamares-offline/settings.conf and /etc/calamares-online/settings.conf. /etc/calamares/settings.conf is a symlink to the offline one by default; the launcher's SetConfig() replaces it with the online config at runtime
• Ships module configs to /etc/calamares/modules/: unpackfs.conf, initcpiocfg.conf, initcpio.conf, netinstall.conf, netinstall.yaml, packagechooser_de.conf, packagechooser_dm.conf, welcome.conf
• Also overwrites /usr/share/calamares/branding/default/ so the Artix default branding can't sneak in
• SetConfig() must rm -f the symlink at /etc/calamares/settings.conf before copying, otherwise cp follows the symlink and overwrites the wrong file

pipewire (forked)

• Ships pipewire.desktop at /etc/xdg/autostart/ so installed systems get the XDG autostart entry
• Patches artix-pipewire-launcher: sets dinit|runit|s6) SUPPORT='YES' (upstream only supported openrc/systemd). Without this, the launcher silently exits on dinit systems and pipewire never starts.

antergos-wallpapers

• Installs to /usr/share/wallpapers/antergos-wallpaper/contents/images/ with metadata.desktop for KDE picker support
• Also available at /usr/share/backgrounds/antergos/ for other DEs
• Ships three wallpapers: original Antergos PNG (default), Adwaita Morning, and antergos-darkest-hour

File conflicts

Package 1	Package 2	File	Resolution
calamares	calamares-branding-antergos-next	/usr/share/calamares/branding/default/branding.desc, show.qml	--overwrite='*' in ./buildiso
filesystem	antergos-release	/usr/lib/os-release	antergos-release in basestrap operations list (uses --overwrite)

Build system

Packages are built and published via CI in the antergos-packages repo. Build order is defined in packages.yaml. AUR packages (yay, downgrade, pixie-sddm-git, etc.) are included with retry logic for transient clone failures. The repo index is generated as antergos-pkgs.db / antergos-pkgs.files under antergos-pkgs/os/x86_64/ and published to GitHub Pages, served by repo-add.
