Removal of remaining packages signed by 86CFFCA918CF3AF47147588051E8B148A9999C34
Hi all, a rebuild of the remaining packages signed by Evangelos Foutras has been started in January[1]. It unfortunately still has six remaining packages: - dosemu - icoutils - libcdaudio - netperf - tsocks - wipe None of the above are used by other packages (any longer) and fail to build (for various reasons) and are mostly just extremely old/unmaintained pieces of software. To not block the revocation of the certificate [2] further I suggest to remove those remaining packages from the repositories. If you intend to keep any of the above packages in the repositories, please fix and rebuild them before 2026-03-22. I will move any remaining packages to the AUR on that day.

I've fixed up `icoutils` as one of my AUR packages needs it. It's currently hanging out in [extra-testing] as I'm still a junior atm - feel free to move it if necessary, though I've already asked Gian about it. That leaves just `dosemu` and `netperf`. Martin On 14/03/2026 22:14, David Runge wrote:
