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 — the launcher script that presents the mode picker and manages config switching
• packagechooser.conf provides a DM-only fallback for standalone use
• 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 both offline and online installs get the XDG autostart entry
• Patches artix-pipewire-launcher: changes dinit|openrc) SUPPORT='' to dinit|runit|s6) SUPPORT='YES'. Without this, the launcher silently exits on dinit systems and pipewire never starts.
• Also modifies dinit|runit|s6) SUPPORT='YES' line handling to include dinit in the regex

antergos-sddm-theme

• Ships theme.conf at /etc/sddm.conf.d/theme.conf with [Theme]\nCurrent=antergos
• SDDM reads conf.d files in alphabetical order. Since theme.conf sorts after kde_settings.conf (from KDE's SDDM KCM), its Current=antergos wins
• The theme directory must be named to match componentName in the theme descriptor (antergos)

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

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) are included with retry logic for transient clone failures. The package index (index.db, index.files) is generated with timestamps in Europe/Berlin timezone.
