  • Is there a way to change a Plasma testing install to entirely stable packages?

I've installed the new Plasma testing iso but noticed that it runs off the unstable repo. Is there a way to switch the system entirely over to stable packages? Does switching the repo then updating do so automatically? Or are Plasma user stuck in unstable for now? I don't mind the unstable repo much butI'd rather have a weekly update schedule with fewer chances of running into a bug.

Umm to my knowledge Plasma iso doesn't default to the unstable repository.

Post the output of:
eopkg lr

To confirm.

    Odd, fair enough.

    sudo eopkg ar Solus https://mirrors.rit.edu/solus/packages/shannon/eopkg-index.xml.xz
    sudo eopkg up

        Harvey Ah cool so it really is as simple as a repo switch. Thank you much.

          Harvey The Plasma ISO is on unstable.

          sudo eopkg rr Solus && sudo eopkg ar Solus https://mirrors.rit.edu/solus/packages/shannon/eopkg-index.xml.xz

          This would be better as merely adding the stable repo won't fix it. Unstable release numbers will always be higher.

              Yes, it will. That was functionality added back in September / October as part of various changes that were made to pisi / eopkg for the package repo migration.

              1. Removing all repos will force add Solus.
              2. Using add-repo / ar with a name that is already assigned will change the URL to the one you specify.
