Archlinux - A Non-Official Repository from Chinese Community

Archlinux is an excellent Linux distribution, which follows the principle of keep it simple and stupid (KISS) closely. Besides the official repositories, its Chinese community provides a non-official repository, a.k.a. ArchlinuxCN.

Using the ArchlinuxCN can be completed by two steps.

1. Append following lines to /etc/pacman.conf.

   [archlinuxcn]
   Server = https://repo.archlinuxcn.org/$arch
   

   Optionally, there are many mirrors, which can be found at https://github.com/archlinuxcn/mirrorlist-repo, e.g.,

   • Aliyun

     [archlinuxcn]
     Server = https://mirrors.aliyun.com/archlinuxcn/$arch
     

   • Netease

     [archlinuxcn]
     Server = https://mirrors.163.com/archlinux-cn/$arch
     

2. Import the corresponding PGP keys by installing package archlinuxcn-keyring.

   pacman -S archlinuxcn-keyring
