[arch-announce] TeX Live package reorganization
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Antonio Rojas 18 Jun '23

18 Jun '23

Starting from version 2023.66594-9, TeX Live packages have been reorganized to mirror upstream collections. Even though the new `texlive-basic` replaces the old `texlive-core`, many of the texlive-core contents (including language specific files) are now split between different packages. To find out which Arch package contains a specific CTAN package, you can use the `tlmgr` utility, eg. $ tlmgr info euler | grep collection collection: collection-latexrecommended which means the euler CTAN package is contained in `texlive-latexrecommended`. You may also use `pacman -F` to query for specific files. A new metapackage texlive-meta is available to install all subpackages (except for language specific ones), and the new texlive-doc package provides the full documentation for offline use.

[arch-announce] OpenBLAS >= 0.3.23-2 update requires manual intervention
by Arch Linux: Recent news updates: Felix Yan 14 Jun '23

14 Jun '23

The openblas package prior to version 0.3.23-2 doesn't ship optimized LAPACK routine and CBLAS/LAPACKE interfaces for compatibility. This decision has been reverted now, and the ability to choose a different default system BLAS/LAPACK implementation while keeping openblas installed is now provided to allow future co-installation of BLIS, ATLAS, etc. The default BLAS implementation will be used for most packages like NumPy or R. Please install "blas-openblas" and "blas64-openblas" to make OpenBLAS the default BLAS implementation, just like the old behavior. Unfortunately you will get errors on updating if you currently have OpenBLAS installed as the default BLAS implementation: error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies) :: installing openblas (0.3.23-2) breaks dependency 'blas' required by cblas :: installing openblas (0.3.23-2) breaks dependency 'blas' required by lapack Please append your preferred default BLAS implementation to the regular -Syu command line to get around it. For example: # pacman -Syu blas-openblas or # pacman -Syu blas URL: https://archlinux.org/news/openblas-0323-2-update-requires-manual-intervent…
