Submitting new package
Please note all of the packages for aarch64 need to be built on my own Orange Pi 5 Plus + Orange Pi 5 combo, I run all my projects without sponsorship including this one. The current daily partialy update + weekly full update model is already very time-consuming and power-hungry. So I don't want to accept packages that's not absolutely needed.
Packages meeting the following conditions won't be accepted:
- Already maintained in a repo, especially already maintained in a distro's official repo
- Not available on AUR
- Not verified to work on actual hardware
- Take too much time to build
Submit the package by modifying aarch64.yaml and adding your package in the pkgbuilds list, at the correct alphabetical position, then open a PR. If you could provide the time needed to build it then it would be better.
Pacman sync change
If you already have the same packages intalled in other ways (e.g. from other repos, via yay, or lcoally via pacman -U), you'll need to manually "install" them again once, since pacman won't update packages to a different repo.
E.g., if you come from https://github.com/7Ji/orangepi5-archlinuxarm , then you need to run the following command once so pacman will know it can upgrade to kernel available at repo 7Ji in the future:
pacman -Syu 7Ji/linux-aarch64-orangepi5{,-headers}
E.g., if you come from https://github.com/7Ji/amlogic-s9xxx-archlinuxarm , then you need to run the following command once so pacman will know it can upgrade to kernel available at repo 7Ji in the future:
pacman -Syu 7Ji/linux-aarch64-{7ji{,-headers},flippy{,-dtb-amlogic,-headers}}
After running such command once, you can just pacman -Syu later to upgrade normally.
