Arch based Xlibre binary packages repository
============================================
Adding the repository
---------------------
This repository can be enabled with the following actions:
* Run commands:\
`sudo pacman-key --recv-keys 73580DE2EDDFA6D6`\
`sudo pacman-key --finger 73580DE2EDDFA6D6`\
`sudo pacman-key --lsign-key 73580DE2EDDFA6D6`
* Add the xlibre repository by adding this section to file /etc/pacman.conf:\
`[xlibre]`\
`Server = https://github.com/X11Libre/binpkg-arch-based/raw/refs/heads/main/`\
`# List of available packages: https://github.com/X11Libre/binpkg-arch-based/`
Installation procedure
----------------------
Attention: when migrating from Xorg package xlibre-input-libinputi-bin needs to be installed together with xlibre-server-bin and xlibre-server-common-bin.
The installation requires via pacman that for any currently installed xf86-(input/video) driver package the corresponding xlibre-(input/video) package needs to be installed.
If for example these packages are installed: xorg-server xorg-server-comon xf86-input-libinput xf86-video-amdgpu
Then for XLibre install: xlibre-server-bin xlibre-server-common-bin xlibre-input-libinput xlibre-video-amdgpu-bin
This will have pacman automatically remove the xorg/xf86 packages.
TearFree option
---------------
Xlibre has the 'TearFree' option enabled by default, while Xorg does not.
Closed source drivers
---------------------
Closed source drivers might not yet have an updated ABI version to match that of the updated xlibre-xserver.
This can be overcome by creating a file named eg. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/xlibre.conf containing:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "IgnoreABI" "true"
EndSection
