CachyOS moved its kernel to 7.3-rc5 while retiring two AUR-derived packages and shrinking the shipped kernel patch set.

CachyOS Linux 7.3-rc5-1 CachyOS/linux

by ptr1337

Rebased onto upstream 7.3-rc5 from cachyos-7.3-rc4-2, with the 7.3/xswap branch removed and a single addition to 7.3/fixes: "mm/slub: refill prefilled sheaves from the barn." The swap rework survives as the renamed 7.3/xswapv5 branch.

drop mangowm (#791) CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived

by Ellie

mangowm is gone from cachyos-aur-derived, with the maintainers noting it is in the Arch repos now. Install it from extra rather than the CachyOS tree.

shader-slang: Drop, moved to extra CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived

by Peter Jung

shader-slang was dropped from the same tree for the same reason: it moved to extra. Two packages leave the derived set in one day, so AUR-derived builds stop tracking them.

plymouth: Sync with Arch Linux package CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS

by ventureoo

plymouth was resynced with the Arch Linux package, realigning the CachyOS boot splash build with what Arch ships.

cachyos-mirrorlist: add india mirror (#1926) CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS

by Sahil

An India mirror was added to cachyos-mirrorlist, giving Indian users a local source to pull packages from. Package version bumps went out for helium-browser-bin (0.18.1.1 to 0.18.2.1), claude-code (2.1.284 to 2.1.285), and LenovoLegionLinux (v0.0.33).
