The xmonad package set moved out of extra-staging into extra in one sweep, and moor got a point release in extra-x86_64, a routine day in the Arch repos.

move xmonad-contrib from extra-staging-x86_64 to extra-x86_64 archlinux/state

by Felix Yan

xmonad-contrib crossed from extra-staging-x86_64 into extra-x86_64, the largest of four xmonad packages to clear staging in the same window. The move means the stable repo now carries the config and layout module library that most xmonad users depend on.

move xmonad-dbus from extra-staging-x86_64 to extra-x86_64 archlinux/state

by Felix Yan

xmonad-dbus made the same extra-staging-x86_64 to extra-x86_64 move, putting the DBus integration for xmonad shell scripting in the stable repo.

move xmonad-extras from extra-staging-x86_64 to extra-x86_64 archlinux/state

by Felix Yan

xmonad-extras followed into extra-x86_64, so the optional contrib-style modules are no longer confined to staging.

move xmonad-utils from extra-staging-x86_64 to extra-x86_64 archlinux/state

by Felix Yan

xmonad-utils completed the set in extra-x86_64. With all four packages promoted, anyone tracking staging for the xmonad stack can drop the staging entry.

update moor to 2.19.2-1 in extra-x86_64 archlinux/state

by Andreas Radke

Andreas Radke updated moor to 2.19.2-1 in extra-x86_64, bumping the terminal pager to the latest point release.
