ARCHINSTALL FIXES TYPO WHILE PACKAGE REPOS ROLL ROUTINE UPDATES
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux
The installer caught a misspelled string that's been hiding in the codebase, but the real action today is five routine package bumps across the extra repos.
Archinstall merged a translation fix that corrects a long-standing typo in the source strings: "respository" finally becomes "repository" [1]. The PR also updates Italian localization with new and improved translations, cleaning up the installer's language support in one pass. Meanwhile, the package repos are running steady: vulscan bumped to 2.1-1 [2], opensips to 3.6.5-1 [3], liblockfile to 1.17_2-1 [4], firefox-adblock-plus to 4.38.1-1 [5], and ecb to 2.52-1 [6]. Nothing critical or breaking in the batch, just the normal cadence of maintenance updates moving through the pipeline.
