Moonarch configures the Sweet-cursors theme in six places — greeter (moongreet.toml, niri-greeter.kdl) and desktop (niri config.kdl, GTK 3/4 settings.ini) — but never declared the package that ships the theme. On a fresh install the cursor theme was absent system-wide, so Niri and GTK fell back to the default cursor; it only worked where sweet-cursors happened to be present (e.g. installed into a user home). sweet-cursors-git provides 'sweet-cursors'; listing it ensures the theme is installed system-wide for both the greeter user and the desktop user.

Setup
The Moonarch installer configures /etc/pacman.conf with:
[moonarch]
SigLevel = Required DatabaseOptional
Server = https://gitea.moonarch.de/api/packages/nevaforget/arch/$repo/$arch
No extra paru setup required — pacman and paru both resolve moonarch
packages from the registry.
Install
paru -S moonarch-git # pulls in all ecosystem packages as dependencies
Update
paru -Syu
Version bumps land in the registry automatically:
- Push on
mainofmoonarch,moongreet,moonlock, ormoonsettriggers the per-projectupdate-pkgver.yaml— pkgver-bot commits a freshpkgverto the matching PKGBUILD here. - That commit triggers
build-and-publish.yaml(this repo): the runner builds every changed PKGBUILD and uploads the artifacts to the Arch registry. Before each upload all existing versions of the package are deleted so the repo DB stays clean — seebuild-and-publish.yamlfor the rationale (zombie DB entries after pkgver changes).
sweet-cursors-git has no upstream CI; bump its pkgrel manually when
a rebuild is needed.
Troubleshooting
paru -Syu shows no update even though a new version was published:
check the repo DB has the new version.
curl -s https://gitea.moonarch.de/api/packages/nevaforget/arch/moonarch/x86_64/moonarch.db \
| tar -tz | grep <pkgname>
If only an old version appears there, the build-and-publish workflow
did not run cleanly — inspect the latest run under
gitea.moonarch.de/nevaforget/moonarch-pkgbuilds/actions.
File conflict on install (foo/bar exists in filesystem): the file
was placed manually before the package claimed ownership. Once:
paru -Syu --overwrite=/path/to/conflicting/file
