- drop antergos-plasma-theme: superseded by antergos-layan-theme, the
active look-and-feel (com.github.vinceliuice.Layan). Package had no
dependents, was not referenced by any calamares config or netinstall
group, and pulled plasma-desktop as a hard dep. Removed from
packages.yaml, README, and deleted the package directory. The
start-here-kde-antergos.svg it shipped is a self-contained copy inside
antergos-layan-theme, so nothing breaks.
- antergos-next-desktop-settings pkgrel 1-4: add descriptions to
optdepends (qt5ct/qt6ct) per Arch packaging guidelines (closes#2).
Calamares pkgrel 3.4.2-10:
- remove -DCMAKE_DISTRIBUTION_NAME: calamares ignores it; the 'for
Antergos NeXT' about text comes from versionedName in the active
branding component at runtime (closes#3).
- bump calamares-branding-antergos-next to 2.0-1: major slideshow redesign
(Manjaro space animation rework), DM packagechooser switched to netinstall-add
with inline groups, default netinstall group gains network/audio/falkon so
every install works regardless of DE, fix pkgdesc (offline installer buried)
- remove dead calamares-branding-antergos-next-minimal package (unused
everywhere); drop from packages.yaml and README
- bump antergos-i3/sway/hyprland-config to 1.0-2: nerd fonts and icons back in
depends so the rice actually renders, sources flattened for makepkg
Cnchi was the heart of Antergos, but the GTK4 Python port proved
too unstable and maintenance-heavy for a solo dev to carry.
GTK4 Python bindings broke on every upstream release, the
codebase was brittle, and maintaining it consumed time that
should go into actual improvements.
Calamares is now the sole installer. It's mature, upstream-
supported, modular C++/Qt6, and with our branding package
it supports:
- Offline mode (GNOME squashfs, no internet needed)
- Online mode (8 DEs via netinstall)
- dracut initramfs
- zenity/kdialog launcher (calamares-next)
What changed:
- packages/cnchi/ deleted entirely
- packages.yaml: cnchi removed, memes kept
- antergos-next-memes: repurposed from 'Cnchi audio enhancements'
to generic 'Antergos NeXT welcome audio', path changed from
/usr/share/cnchi-memes/ to /usr/share/antergos-next-memes/
- calamares-branding show.qml: Cnchi line → Calamares line
- README: Cnchi table → HAL section, sources updated
The welcome app's startup jingle still works — the memes package
lives on, just without the Cnchi association.
