Nightly and Beta2 users will need to “re-add” their release repositories to update to newer versions of Haiku and beyond. This change is part of a long-term improvement of our Haiku/HaikuPorts repository identifiers.

These commands need to be run in the terminal.

Check your current repositories:
`pkgman list-repo`

## Nightly Users
Nightly users will need to "re-add" both their Haiku and HaikuPorts release repositories to be able to update to hrev55184 and beyond.
### Re-add HaikuPorts repository

`pkgman drop-repo HaikuPorts
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/$(getarch)/current`

### Re-add Haiku repository

`pkgman drop-repo Haiku
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haiku/master/$(getarch)/current`

## R1/Beta2 users
Beta2 users will need to "re-add" their HaikuPorts release repository to be able to continue installing and updating apps from HaikuPorts.
### Re-add HaikuPorts repository
`pkgman drop-repo HaikuPorts
pkgman add-repo https://eu.hpkg.haiku-os.org/haikuports/master/$(getarch)/current`

{{< alert-info "R1/Beta3 users" "This change will not be required for r1/Beta3 users as the changes will be built into the Beta3 release." >}}

## Summary
The “identifier” will change from `https://hpkg....` to `tag:haiku....` for both Haiku, and HaikuPorts on nightly installs (this identifier will only change for HaikuPorts on R1/Beta2 installs) Once you see the new identifiers, you have been successfully changed over to the new repository ID.
