We are creating a series of YouTube videos under the “edu-“ label to guide users through the migration from ArcoLinux to Arch Linux. These tutorials aim to make the transition process smoother by explaining each step clearly and providing practical examples. Whether you’re switching to gain more control or to learn vanilla Arch, our edu- videos are here to support your journey.

ArcoLinux has stopped

Teaching never stops—because learning is a lifelong journey for all of us.

How to make a package and include it in your repo

We are showing you how to make a package and will post it later on the ArcoLinux repo.

We surf to the AUR packages website of Arch Linux and look for xfce4-panel-profiles.

We download the snapshot and extract it.

The PKGBUILD file is your recipe to create a package.

I have a system in place to automate everything. Building, signing, moving and cleaning.

But a makepkg command will test out if your PKGBUILD is correct.

We analyze what happens when you start a makepkg.

General Package Building Information

On the AUR you will find thousands of PKGBUILDS.
You can use their PKGBUILDS or make one yourself.

AUR = Arch User Repository – A user is someone like you and me.

Here are some interesting links if you want to make your own ‘recipe’ or PKGBUILD.
