(Test Update) 2026-01-09 – Kernels, KDE Gear 25.12.1, Mesa 25.3.3, Haskell – Test Updates

Valkey, a high-performance key/value data store, will replace redis in the (extra) repository. This change is due to Redis changing its license from BSD-3 clause to RSALv2 and SSPLv1 on March 20, 2024.

Arch Linux Package Maintainers intend to support the availability of the redis package for approximately 14 days from the day of this post, to enable a smooth transition to valkey. After the 14 day transition period ends, the redis package will be moved to the AUR. Also, from this point on, the redis package will not receive any additional updates and should be considered deprecated until removed.

Users are recommended to switch their usage from Redis to Valkey as soon as possible to avoid possible complications after the 14-day transition window closes.

mkinitcpio v40, packaging changes and kernel install – Arch-dev-public – lists.archlinux.org
This only affects new installations as we cannot modify the hook files on existing installations.

To disable fallback image creation on older installed systems

• alter PRESETS=('default' 'fallback') line up PRESETS=('default') in the respective .preset files in /etc/mkinitcpio.d/.
• Regenerate initramfs – sudo mkinitcpio -P
• Update Bootloader – sudo update-grub

Warning
Disabling all fallback initramfs generation will deprive you of another option to boot into the system in case a default initramfs fails. Before proceeding, make sure you have a bootable installation media handy for rescue purposes.
