+Hi all, I'm an Arch Linux user and I've been learning Haskell and working on an Arch Liux Port in the last several months. Here's my [GitHub fork](https://github.com/wzhd/propellor/tree/archlinux), and the branch is called archlinux.
+
+Currently, I've added types, modified Bootstrap.hs, and added a Property for the package manager Pacman. I've been using it for a while and it seems to be working.
+
+I've made some addtional minor changes to make propellor compile without errors:
+
+- User.nuked now has type Property Linux
+- OS.cleanInstallOnce now has type Property DebianLike, because one of its dependencies, User.shadowConfig only supports DebianLike
+- tightenTargets is added to Reboot.toDistroKernel to get the expeted type
+- pattern for Arch Linux is added to Debootstrap.extractSuite to silence warning "non-exhaustive pattern match"
+- several properties in Parted and Partition are converted to Property Linux
+- Rsync.installed and Docker.installed now supports Pacman as well
+
+Hope you enjoy it!

+Wow, nice work!
+
+Seems that Propellor.Property.Partition.formatted' is still a DebianLike
+property really, since it only supports using apt to install the mkfs
+programs. It will fail at runtime on Arch. So, I think best to keep it
+DebianLike until that's dealt with -- and then the type will be
+`DebianLike + ArchLinux` rather than `LinuxLike`
+
+Same for Propellor.Property.Partition.kpartx.
+
+Several properties that were changed from DebianLike to Linux really
+only support DebianLike and ArchLinux, not all linux distros, so their
+types ought to be `DebianLike + ArchLinux`. This includes Docker.installed,
+Parted.installed, Rsync.installed.
+
+A nicer way to inplement those multi-distro `installed` properties is like
+this:
+
+ installed :: Property (Debian + ArchLinux)
+ installed = Apt.installed ["foo"] `pickOS` Pacman.installed ["foo"]
+
+Make those changes and I will merge it.

+Thanks!
+
+
+I didn't find the right way to do it; `pickOS` is so much easier than `withOS` !
+
+
+`Propellor.Property.Partition` was modified to get rid of some compiling errors in DiskImage and didn't support anything new. So I removed the changes.
+
+
+Instead, I changed some properties in DiskImage from Linux to DebianLike. Is it the correct way to do it?

+Please consider merging the `pin` branch of `https://git.spwhitton.name/propellor` (again).
+
+I've modified `Apt.pinnedTo` so that it can pin an `AptPrefPackage` to multiple suites with different pin priorities. I've included a sample use-case in the function's haddock.
