Hi Jelle, (also forwarding to dev-public)
definitely yes, OpenSSL 3.0 is on my wish list! :-)
I did not want to jump on it at day one though. Even the last minor
updates were quite painful and we still have packages requiring
version 1.0 and are still not compatible with 1.1.
While they claim that most packages should work with a recompile, it
would be nice to actually know which packages are not compatible. This
should help whether we need another compatibility package are would be
able to just replace openssl 1.1 with version 3.
I know about foutrelis' awesome rebuilder script, but I wonder if we
have something similar that I just could run for half a day to get an
idea which package would break and which wont? Like a dry run that
wont commit anything. If no such thing exists yet, I might have a look
myself.
Greetings,
Pierre

Hi folks,
I would like to bring a new mkinitcpio package to [testing],
to finally cleanup my archboot initcpio workaround hacks.
Adressing the following issues on FS:
- Adding NEW parameter MODULES_DECOMPRESS to mkinitcpio.conf:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/72882
The old behaviour of decompressing modules stays the default
- Adding full symlink support:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73493
- Allow reproducable builds in case of /var/cache exists in initramfs:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/73817
- Added zst firmware compression support for future kernel versions
The proposed patch to add is located here:
https://pkgbuild.com/~tpowa/symlink-compression.patch
Thanks for your feedback.
greetings
tpowa

Hi all,
a little heads up as it takes longer than expected. I'll start the PHP
8.1 update and the required rebuilds soon. I noticed some unexpected
incompatibilities and I'd like to look into these first. I'll also
evaluate if we could drop the php7 packages at the same time.
Greetings,
Pierre

Hi all,
with qemu 7.0.0 now in [staging] we have a more extensive split package
setup (see accompanying TODO [1]). Under certain circumstances this will
require manual intervention (or rather a specific upgrade) to regain the
previous functionality:
```
With the update to qemu 7.0.0 the package has been turned into a more
fine grained split package.
The `qemu` package now only carries a few common files and tracks all of
its leaf packages as optional dependencies.
Much of the previous summarized functionality is now available via meta
packages:
* The functionality of `qemu` prior to 7.0.0 is replaced by
`qemu-desktop` (**the transition to this package is manual**!)
* The functionality of `qemu-headless` prior to 7.0.0 is replaced by
`qemu-base` (the transition to this package is automatic).
* The functionality of `qemu-arch-extra` and `qemu-headless-arch-extra`
prior to 7.0.0 is replaced by `qemu-emulators-full` (the transition to
this package is automatic).
Furthermore, the meta package `qemu-full` provides all qemu related
packages (excluding `qemu-docs`).
As such, users that relied on the functionality of the `qemu` package
prior to 7.0.0 should update using `sudo pacman -Syu qemu-desktop`.
```
Best,
David

Hello,
Spring (in the northern hemisphere) is here and with it our yearly orphans
cleanup. Please head to
https://archlinux.org/devel/reports/unneeded-orphans/ and adopt packages
that you'd like to keep in the repos.
This is also a good oportunity to disown any packages you no longer want to
maintain, so others can adopt them or they can be dropped if nobody is
interested.
If any non-dev TU wants to maintain some orphan in [extra], reply here and
I'll move it to [community].
I will start dropping the leftovers to AUR in about 10 days.

Hi!
Yes, see the mail on archlinux-projects [1]. However, I might be a few
minutes late myself. :)
Best,
David
