Valkey, a high-performance key/worth datastore, will likely be changing redis within the [extra] repository. This variation is because of Redis modifying its license from BSD-3-Clause to RSALv2 and SSPLv1 on March twentieth, 2024.

Arch Linux Bundle Maintainers intend to help the supply of the redis package deal for roughly 14 days from the day of this submit, to allow a easy transition to valkey. After the 14 day transition interval has ended, the redis package deal will likely be moved to the AUR.

Customers are really useful to start transitioning their use of Redis to Valkey as quickly as attainable to keep away from attainable issues after the 14 day transition window closes.
