[arch-dev-public] Qt 5.14 in [testing]
by Antonio Rojas 12 Dec '19

12 Dec '19

The usual reminder that, due to Qt's ABI versioning, everything built against 5.14 will have to wait in [testing] until Qt itself moves.

[arch-dev-public] Orphaning crypto++
by Baptiste Jonglez 11 Dec '19

11 Dec '19

Hi, I plan to orphan crypto++ [1] soon: I don't maintain any package that depends on it anymore, and it's becoming annoying to maintain. For instance, there was a significant security issue on July 2019 [2], and 5 months later there is still no upstream release even though a patch is available [3]. I just patched the Arch package but it raises the question of whether we want to have such a crypto library in our repositories. Here are the packages that currently depend on crypto++: - amule - clementine - kvazaar - rbutil - ceph (makedepends) If nobody steps up to adopt it before December 20th, I will drop it to the AUR. In that case, I will send a reminder to find a solution for the above packages. Thanks, Baptiste [1] https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/crypto++/ [2] https://security.archlinux.org/CVE-2019-14318 [3] https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp/issues/869

[arch-dev-public] Orphaning dkim-proxy
by Archange 03 Dec '19

Hi, I’ve orphaned dkim-proxy since I no longer use it (opensmtpd added support for filters recently, and they are the new recommended way of doing DKIM signing/verification, deprecating the use of dkim-proxy). If someone want to adopt it please let me know, else I’ll just drop it to the AUR in ~1 week. Regards, Bruno/Archange

[arch-dev-public] Flyspray migration to a VPS
by Giancarlo Razzolini 01 Dec '19

01 Dec '19

Hi All, If everything goes well, I'll be moving flyspray (bugs.archlinux.org) to a VPS later today. In fact, the VPS already has a copy of our flyspray instance, I'll just make a final dump and take a last copy of the attachments and make the move. So, expect it to be unavailable for some time later today. I expect to start working on this at around 16-17 UTC and the downtime should be around one hour, plus the time it takes for the DNS changes to propagate. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini
