Varia Linux Official Package Repository                        

Varia Linux Official Package Repository

       

            This site hosts the Official package repositories for Varia Linux, managed by the Varia Linux Organization.        

       

Varia Linux Users: Configuration Check

       

            The official repositories are already pre-configured in your Varia Linux system's /etc/pacman.conf. This section is for verification or if the configuration was manually removed.        

                

Ensure the following settings are present in your /etc/pacman.conf:

                 
[varia]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Server = https://varia-repo.amase.cc/$arch/
       

            Security Note: As official repositories, **GPG signing** is enforced. The organization's public key should already be imported and trusted on your system.        

       

Arch Linux Users: Manual Addition & GPG Key Setup

       

            Arch Linux users must complete two steps: import the GPG signing key and then add the repository sections.        

       

Step 1: Import the Varia Linux GPG Public Key

       

            To securely verify the packages, import the necessary signing key(s). The **Organization's Key** (Recommended) is FD8F04B290F3E2FD18CDAF9FD53A3E0AB76602CF.        

       

1-A. Import the Organization Key from Repository (Recommended)

The recommended method is to install the official keyring package:

        
sudo pacman -U https://varia-repo.amase.cc/x86_64/varia-keyring-20251110-2-any.pkg.tar.zst

1-B. Troubleshooting: Importing the Old Developer Key

If package installation fails with a key error, it might be due to a package still being signed by the old **Developer Key** (C7D43A7BF40EF2AC1486A457FED45582099CCB69, non-org signature, provided from AmaseCocoa). To resolve this, manually import the key from a keyserver and locally sign it: 

# 1. Import the key from a keyserver
sudo pacman-key --recv-key C7D43A7BF40EF2AC1486A457FED45582099CCB69
# 2. Locally sign the key to establish trust
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key C7D43A7BF40EF2AC1486A457FED45582099CCB69
       

Step 2: Add Repository Sections

       

            Add the repository sections shown below to your /etc/pacman.conf file:        

                 
[varia]
SigLevel = PackageRequired
Server = https://varia-repo.amase.cc/$arch/
       
                

Sync and Install Packages

       

            Synchronize your package database and install packages using the standard Pacman commands:        

        
sudo pacman -Sy
sudo pacman -S <package-name>
