Hi! I've just installed pakku in artix and when I test it with pakku -Sn which i get this output:

$ pakku -Sn which
checking official repositories...
(1/1) cloning repositories                     00:00 [###########################] 100
**error:** which: failed to get package info

Everything works fine except for pakku -Sn & pakku -S --build. Thanks!

That stopped working when the repositories were moved ages ago. Arch Linux moved their repositories too. -Sz doesn't work either. It's not just a simple matter of changing the address somewhere either, the whole section of code that deals with it is custom built around going to a location and retrieving files laid out in a specific way, and involves numerous files and functions. -Sz for Arch would be easier to fix first. The new Arch repos are laid out vaguely like the old Artix ones were. No - one has commented up to now, and even the Nim-Git pkgbuild in the AUR hasn't worked for a couple of years without being fixed or commented on so there hasn't seemed to be much interest :). I think possibly Yay or Paru added the ability to build system packages at some point too, not sure about that though.
