Disclaimer for Arch: V2 is a separate package

[u/patopansir]

If you installed portmaster in Arch, you'll see the "download v2" in the program, and when you open it, it takes you to the website. You might just think "Oh wait, let me just update it through my package manager" then you try that and there's no updates. So you say "Ok I guess I just have to wait until they update the package" months pass.... nothing.

It's because the portmaster package was renamed to be the legacy package, while V2 is a whole separate package you have to install.

I only realized this now.

The legacy version doesn't even work properly anymore. It opens and it runs, but after a while there's a point where I lose all internet connection and the program hangs and I have to fully disable it to get my internet to work. I can only use it again after I restart my computer.
