Arch-Stable/ArchRock
In reference to the discussion in this forum thread, the proposition has been put forth, initially by nagoola, to provide a stable branch or snapshot of the Arch Linux distribution.
Aims
Arch-Stable(ArchRock) is aimed at servers, not at desktop/workstation machines. We will provide a repository that is as stable as possible and should never break an update.
Concept
We will provide a repository, which is only updated for security-updates during a release-cycle(6-12 Months). Feature updates will not be made during a release-cycle. Each release will be based on the official Arch-Repositories. We will only be providing the packages from [core] + some extra packages, which are often used by servers, like apache, php, mysql, etc.
Definition
In the context of the Arch-Stable Branch, 'stable' will mean: Packages should never crash during runtime, be bug-free and should never be broken by updates.
Requirements
Staff
- Project Leader - Delegate tasks and project direction.
- Packagers - Choosing and handling packages to add to the snapshot repository.
- Testers - Testing the stability of packages, logistics, and assistance.
- Repository - Will require a server.
- Programmers - Code necessary tools.
Communication

Mailing list - archlinux-stable-request@freelists.org Send e-mail with the subject 'subscribe'
