The deleted post of an #XLibre maintainer has been restored on the #ArtixLinux forum. Additionally, they packaged the Xserver 25.0.0.24 containing 8 CVE fixes that we released on June 6, 2026. For now we have github.com/xlibre-artix and will look into solutions for the future.

Our response to allegations on the #ArtixLinux forum was deleted today, a few hours after posting it. It dealt with claims made by a former #XLibre team member, who calls himself "artist." You can find the deleted post in our X (Twitter) article x.com/XLibreDev/st...

We regret that we had to part ways with one of our team members. Given his recent behavior, he may try to remove #XLibre from #ArtixLinux for "technical“ reasons. In any case, we have packages, a forum, and a bug tracker for you at xlibre-artix.github.io.

On Jul 5, a #GarudaLinux user was seeking help related to #XLibre and Garuda packages on the Garuda forum. He's been told to remove XLibre and the thread has been locked. We fixed the underlying dependency issue and assure you that you're welcome at github.com/xlibre-arch.

A quick rundown of the #XLibre for #ArchLinux packaging changes: 1. New pipeline. Faster updates. 2. New mirror. packages.xlibre.net/arch/stable/... 3. New key. xlibre-arch.github.io/xlibre-archl... 4. New doc. Like the #ArchWiki, but more XLibre. github.com/xlibre-arch/...

In April we promised x.com/XLibreDev/st... to create a place for #XLibre on #ArchLinux. With up-to-date binary packages and technical information. We've got it now: github.com/xlibre-arch. Please provide feedback if you run into any issues. We'll take care of them for sure.
