Hi,

I'm a curios guy and sometimes wants a new challenge. As I switched to Manjaro a few months ago I can't use this repository anymore.

What would I need to do to achieve this? What costs maybe are involved?

I'm not sure if I wanna do this, but if you give me some hints than I'd like to give it a try.

You would need to modify ALHP to use Manjaro's "stable" repository. Since ALHP uses the state repository to track packages, you would have to find a Manjaro equivalent for that part (I'm not familiar enough with Manjaro's build architecture to recommend or point you to anything).

To build packages you would need to build in a clean chroot that uses their stable packages. Not sure if manjaro ships its own modified devtools package, so that would be something you also would need to check.

That's what immediately comes to mind. Probably some more stuff to modify, like the status page.

Regarding costs, you would need a build host powerful enough to build most packages, so something like >=50 GiB ram that can run x86_64-v4 instructions.

You just need to switch to manjaro unstable branch first (using stable will lead to a version conflict sooner or later).
And then you can use it as you would with normal Arch.

I've been running such setups for over a year now without any problems. In fact, I've even paired it with cachyos repos on top of that (something that is highly not recommended!) and no issues whatsoever. But I keep my daily backups just in case.

If you want to use it with stable manjaro then it's not worth it, especially since stable isn't any more stable in my experience (I've been running manjaro since 2013)
