Switch to the new Pacman repository #615
Conversation
For a couple of months now, to precise: since git-for-windows#595 (Let `pacman-helper` deploy also to the GitHub repo `git-for-windows/pacman-repo`), every deployment to Git for Windows' Pacman repository is mirrored to a new location: https://github.com/git-for-windows/pacman-repo/ The idea set forth in one of the commits in that PR, 3fca5c7 (pacman-helper quick_add: start transitioning deployments to GitHub, 2025-02-16), is to switch to the new location eventually, avoiding the dependency on my personal Azure account (where the old location resides). I had meant to transition a lot quicker, but procrastinated on this for such a long time that I forgot. But today is the day! Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

no, I did a quick search and I didn't see any way to get curl to do so, and pacman uses libcurl. |

I meant to do this a lot earlier: In February, I started migrating off of the Pacman repository that is hosted in my personal Azure account, to a new Pacman repository that is hosted on GitHub Releases.
With this PR, Git for Windows' SDK is moved over to the new Pacman repository.
Note that the
get-sources.shscript is left alone, for now, as it will require substantial work (because it is no longer as easy to find the source package for a given package version; It will require using the GitHub REST API, probably viaghso that the--jqoption can be used to filter by the desired asset filename).
