    Changelog

    ARTIX REPOS ELIMINATED, OPENRC PACKAGES FULLY SELF-HOSTED:

    LainOS Layer 02 now ships with fully self-hosted OpenRC packages, eliminating the dependency on Artix Linux repositories entirely. All OpenRC init scripts and the OpenRC init system itself are now built and maintained by the LainOS project directly from upstream sources (github.com/OpenRC/openrc and github.com/gentoo/netifrc).
    lainOS layer 02 is now a pure Arch Linux derivative and is architecturally complete. Every package comes from official Arch repos or the lainOS protocol_7_repo, and lainos_repo. No third-party distribution repositories are required.

    The following packages were forked from Artix and rebuilt for lainOS:

    • openrc
    • libeinfo (split from openrc)
    • netifrc
    • dhcpcd-openrc
    • acpid-openrc
    • chrony-openrc
    • dbus-openrc (dummy package)
    • greetd-openrc
    • iwd-openrc
    • nftables-openrc
    • seatd-openrc
    • syslog-ng-openrc

    Added(2026.06.26)

    • BlackArch Repo installation script ~ install in home folder with bash blackarch-repos.sh
    • lainos-utils package ~ System utility scripts pre-installed(a few of these still need to be wired up):

      • ani-cli ~ Terminal anime streaming
