From 1f243468dc96a68cac68e7ca0485a9f9b130db75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Rebischke Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2018 21:09:39 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add mention of official arch linux package Since Alacritty does not require the AUR anymore, its mention has been removed from the README. To make future changes simpler, the README has also been reworded so less changes are required for adding new operating systems. --- README.md | 15 +++++++-------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 614a4b44..b1fb92f5 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -36,18 +36,17 @@ built from source. ## Installation -Instructions are provided for macOS and many Linux variants to compile Alacritty -from source.
