Hi all, this is a brief report about the state of some projects affecting the whole repository of packages. packages percentage total 9594 pooled 8150 84.9400% xz 8890 92.6600% gzip 704 7.3300% signed 3186 33.2000% As you see our efforts to compress packages with xz rather than gzip and moving to a package pool structure are almost finished, I am also please with the number of packages that are already signed even though this is in a early stage and not yet official. Please have a look at old packages listed at https://www.archlinux.org/devel/reports/old/ In general I would consider it a good idea to rebuild packages regularly (e.g. once a year) even if here are no upstream changes. This way we keep our PKGBUILDs working and adjust to recent tool chain changes. Here is a short checklist for such rebuilds: * is there a new version available? * remove || return 1 * use package(), check() and build() functions * check install scripts * general cleanup if needed * run namcap on package and pkgbuild * sign the package Greetings, Pierre PS: yes, I know that the numbers bc calculated don't really add up to 100% :-) -- Pierre Schmitz, https://users.archlinux.de/~pierre
