[arch-dev-public] [PATCH 1/2] makepkg.conf: Change default compression to .zst (fast)
by Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig) 10 Jul '20

10 Jul '20

From: "Jan Alexander Steffens (heftig)" <heftig(a)archlinux.org> Most people create packages from the AUR for local installation. This allows these packages to be created more quickly. --- PKGBUILD | 2 +- makepkg.conf | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/PKGBUILD b/PKGBUILD index 8566270..846a970 100644 --- a/PKGBUILD +++ b/PKGBUILD @@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ source=(https://sources.archlinux.org/other/pacman/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz{… sha256sums=('bb201a9f2fb53c28d011f661d50028efce6eef2c1d2a36728bdd0130189349a0' 'SKIP' '3353f363088c73f1f86a890547c0f87c7473e5caf43bbbc768c2e9a7397f2aa2' - '9c769f13c09a6f24c393a9762474eded2f269d8966e7764d9160d62232a7919b') + 'd113252f97f019a13541237a4f4c7fbe9ffd0c3e71ecd7cd8d5d227b378819ab') build() { diff --git a/makepkg.conf b/makepkg.conf index d8bf59e..a277503 100644 --- a/makepkg.conf +++ b/makepkg.conf @@ -132,7 +132,7 @@ DBGSRCDIR="/usr/src/debug" COMPRESSGZ=(gzip -c -f -n) COMPRESSBZ2=(bzip2 -c -f) COMPRESSXZ=(xz -c -z -) -COMPRESSZST=(zstd -c -z -q -) +COMPRESSZST=(zstd -c -T0 -) COMPRESSLRZ=(lrzip -q) COMPRESSLZO=(lzop -q) COMPRESSZ=(compress -c -f) -- 2.27.0

[arch-dev-public] Reproducible Builds July Update
by Jelle van der Waa 10 Jul '20

10 Jul '20

Hi All, A lot of work has been put into getting Arch packages 100% reproducible, the [community] repository has been added to the rebuilderd instance on reproducible.archlinux.org. As of now [community] is 60% reproducible and packages with file ordering issues have been rebuild and are about to be moved to [community] which will hopefully increase the reproducible package percentage! Archweb now imports the rebuilderd status into it's database so, you are now able to your reproducible package issues. [1] In your Archweb profile, it's possible to get an email notifications when packages change from reproducible to unreproducible. [2] As of now, the software which rebuilds our packages store no logs/diffs of the unreproducible packages. To get a diff: 1) Retrieve the package 2) run "repro -d $pkg" Or when a package is freshly build: $ repro -ndf $pkg To rebuild the newly build package. For some package groups there are "structural" issues such as KDE packages, packages with JAR files and Haskell packages see the wiki for those issues. [3] For Haskell packages, a filesystem/perl bug has to resolved. [4] [1] https://www.archlinux.org/devel/reports/non-reproducible-packages/$username/ [2] https://www.archlinux.org/devel/profile/ [3] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reproducible_Builds/Status [4] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Reproducible_Builds/Status Greetings, Jelle

[arch-dev-public] Removing dependency on fontconfig/xorg-mkfontscale of font packages
by Frederik Schwan 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

We received a Feature Request today to remove fontconfig and xorg-mkfontscale dependencies from our font packages according to our own font packaging guidelines [0]. I discussed with Eli on #archlinux-bugs and we think it's a no-brainer but before creating a TODO we'd like to ask for your opinions first. Thank you [0] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/66012

[arch-dev-public] moving bridge-utils to [extra]
by Christian Hesse 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

Hello everybody, with the release of bridge-utils v1.7 the utility has been deprecated in favor of iproute2 which supports even more features. I would like to move it from [core] to [extra] if nobody raises concerns. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/bridge-utils.git… -- main(a){char*c=/* Schoene Gruesse */"B?IJj;MEH" "CX:;",b;for(a/* Best regards my address: */=0;b=c[a++];) putchar(b-1/(/* Chris cc -ox -xc - && ./x */b/42*2-3)*42);}
