ArchZFS provides ZFS packages and repository tooling for Arch Linux. It is an independent community project and is not endorsed by Arch Linux or OpenZFS.

- Report reproducible ArchZFS problems in the main issue tracker and use Discussions for broader project questions and proposals.
The fixed-name experimental release is the current public Pacman repository.
It uses the released OpenZFS version selected by ArchZFS, although individual
kernel packages may lag or be unavailable when compatibility builds fail. Its
artifacts are signed, but production keyring integration remains incomplete;
follow the release page for the current repository configuration and trust
options.
archzfsis the production control repository for package generation, builds, signing, and GitHub Releases publication.
archzfs-testingis the disposable staging fork for release-infrastructure changes. Its releases are not end-user repositories.archzfs-keyringcontains the intended ArchZFS web-of-trust key material. Packaging and production integration are not complete.archzfs-mirroris intended to provide reusable mirror synchronization tooling. Its implementation remains proposed and is not deployed from the default branch.
Repositories such as zfs-utils,
zfs-dkms,
zfs-linux,
zfs-linux-lts,
zfs-linux-hardened, and
zfs-linux-zen contain generated
PKGBUILDs. Their source templates and build policy live in archzfs; they are
not independent control repositories. Git and release-candidate variants remain
in the organization but are not part of the current public package release.
archzfs-cicontains the former Buildbot-based testing and deployment system. Current production uses GitHub Actions fromarchzfs.
Read the organization-wide contribution guide before choosing a repository. Release, signing, keyring, and generated-package changes have repository-specific safety and review requirements.
