Manjaro GNU/Linux

Repositories

To ensure continued stability and reliability, Manjaro uses its own dedicated software branches rather than relying on those provided by Arch:

  • unstable: synced several times a day with Arch's package releases; only a subset of them are modified to suit Manjaro; people using this branch need to have the skills to get themselves out of trouble; thanks to the feedback from these users, many issues are caught and fixed at this level; the very latest software is be located here, and using this branch is usually safe but - in rare cases - may cause issues with your system
  • testing: this branch is the second line of defense; users living in this branch refine the work done by users in the unstable branch by providing further feedback on the packages they receive as updates
  • stable: packages which land here have gone through roughly a couple of weeks testing by users using the unstable and testing branches; these packages are usually free of any problems

One can use the branch comparison tool to check in what branch a package is available.
