Lately there appear to be changes in Arch as well, making it hard to keep up as well. Let's examine for example the kernel building. It was the tradition and commitment by arch to use direct source from upstream, and only modify what is necessary to make software comply with the entire distro. Now, with linux-5.19 appearing, and maybe with the last versions of 5.18, instead of using directly a tar ball from kernel.org Arch is using its own source library https://github.com/archlinux/linux/tags made by forking Torvalds' git. The traditional config file is gone, and all configuration and patching takes place at Arch's forked source.
