pkgstats sends a list of all installed packages, the architecture and the mirror you are using to the Arch Linux project. This information is anonymous and cannot be used to identify the user, but it will help Arch developers prioritize their efforts (source code). See also the project's Privacy policy.

Installation

Install the pkgstats package.

Usage

pkgstats is set up to automatically run every week using systemd/Timers. Once installed, it will be activated after the next reboot.

If you do not want to wait for a reboot cycle, you can manually start pkgstats.timer.

pkgstats can also be run manually: see pkgstats -h for usage information.
