all the packages needed to set up a base system. desktop, which contains KDE Software Compilation packages and Chakra tools. gtk, which contains various well-known GTK applications. lib32, a centralized repository for x86_64 users to more readily support 32-bit applications in a 64-bit environment. A testing repository also existed that contained versions of packages that were deemed not stable, but ready for testing by users. There were also unstable repositories that included applications still considered to be unstable. These repositories also included packages built directly from the upstream source code, and were not ready for the testing or stable repositories. There were two repositories that fulfilled this, the repositories being: unstable, which contains development versions of general packages. kde-unstable, which contains development versions of KDE Software Compilation packages. Chakra Community Repository (CCR) In addition to the official repositories, users could install packages from the Chakra Community Repository (CCR). Like the Arch User Repository (AUR) which inspired it, the CCR provides user-made PKGINFOs and PKGBUILD scripts for software which is not included in the official repositories. CCR packages simplify building from source by explicitly listing and checking for dependencies and configuring the install to match the Chakra architecture. The CCR helper programs can further streamline the downloading and building process. A CCR package with many votes and which conforms to the Chakra software policy may be transferred to the official repositories.
