[manjaro-dev] [0.8.8] we finally made it ...

[Philip Müller]

Since pamac 0.9.2 won't work as expected, we decided to downgrade to 
pamac 0.9.0 and release pamac with AUR support as pamac-aur. As soon as 
all issues are fixed we will merge both packages again. So currently I'm 
rebuilding the XFCE install medias and reupload them to our testbuild 
project as 0.8.8-rc4 media. You will notice  checksum change and newer 
date of the images. Since I use rsync, only needed changes got added to 
the image and I don't have to upload all 3 GB again. Everybody who 
already downloaded the image simply downgrade pamac.

kind regards

Phil
