- Change CI container from archlinux:latest to artixlinux/artixlinux:base-openrc
so calamares and yad are available from Artix world repo directly
- Remove calamares from packages.yaml — no need to build it, Artix provides it
- Revert calamares PKGBUILD: put services-openrc back in skip list (unused)
- Packages now built by CI: wallpapers, yay, downgrade, keyring, mirrorlist,
desktop-settings, branding, memes, welcome, hal, grub-theme, live
- Remove services-openrc from skip list so the module is compiled in
(needed by settings.conf which calls services-openrc for OpenRC systems)
- Add calamares back to packages.yaml: needed as dependency of
calamares-branding-antergos-next, and not available in official Arch repos
(CI uses archlinux:latest container)
- Remove calamares from packages.yaml: our fork stripped services-openrc,
Artix repo provides working calamares (3.4.2-4) with openrc support
- Add antergos-grub-theme to CI: uses real Antergos background + logo
from grub2-theme-antergos repo merged with Artix UI infrastructure
- Add antergos-live to CI: fork of artix-live with s/artix/antergos branding
- Bump calamares-branding-antergos-next pkgrel 12->13: settings now call
services-openrc instead of services-systemd, show.qml drops EndeavourOS,
calamares-next.sh targets /home/antergos not /home/liveuser
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.
- Add packages/cnchi/PKGBUILD building from Antergos-NeXT/Cnchi fork
- Add cnchi.install post-install script
- Update packages.yaml to include cnchi
- Update build-packages.py to prefer local PKGBUILDs over AUR
