- LQX
- and a few architecture-specific variants of the previously mentioned kernels.
- A complete KDE-git stack in a separate repo

Check out the package lists to find out what exactly gets built and when! 🕵️♀️
While we would prefer to build AUR packages without modification, doing so is often not practical or possible.
- Depends, options, or commands may be missing.
- Erroneous options or commands may be present.
- Packages may not build or function without changes.
- Packages may not meet packaging standards.
To address such issues:
- Toolbox automatically corrects some common errors.
- Manual corrections may be applied with Interfere.
- The original package may be forked as a custom package.

This is a list of packages that we will reject for good reasons:
-
snapd: We didn't know how to help our users with it since it breaks A LOT. We recommend using native packages or FlatPak instead. Also, there are a lot of other reasons to not use Snaps.
-
lib32-*: The difficulty of maintaining 32-bit packages is increasing as their usefulness decreases. They may be considered to keep existing packages working, like
wine-*. Otherwise, use 64-bit packages when available. -
gst-plugins-{ugly,bad}: These need too frequent rebuilds which can't be dealt with as we don't control the packages pkgrel. Ultimately this would result in a bad user experience.
-
ffmpeg-{full,headless}: These need too frequent rebuilds which can't be dealt with as we don't control the packages pkgrel. Ultimately this would result in a bad user experience.
-
mpv-amd, ffmpeg-amd: This is just MPV/FFMPEG without CUDA and NVENC to achieve shorter build times without actual end-user benefit.
-
unreal-engine (and -git): Some mirrors don't have sufficient storage space.
-
python2: Has been EOL for a couple of years, and was removed from Arch repositories. Requests for packages that depend on it in any way will be rejected (see #1958).
-
linux-ck: Other kernels contain the same optimizations, and official pre-built binaries are available from repo-ck.
-
Dependencies without any dependents: Such packages are useless by themselves. Maintaining them wastes effort that is better spent elsewhere.
-
AMDGPU PRO Drivers. Redistribution of both software and documentation is prohibited.
-
aseprite{-git}: Redistribution is explicitly prohibited in its FAQ.
-
feishu: Unauthorized redistribution of their applications is explicitly prohibited per ToS.
-
multimc*: Redistribution of custom binaries that include their API keys and trademarked assets is explicitly prohibited.
-
rider: Redistribution disallowed per ToS.
-
tlauncher: Legal gray area, as it potentially allows playing Minecraft in a reduced capacity without a license.
