## Agenda

### CPU architecture test

The architecture of consumed packages is checked against the
architecture of the target repository.
Packages of type "any" may still be added to architecture specific
repositories
[!117](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/merge_requests/117)

### Link between package names and their pkgbases

A symlink in the management repository is introduced to link the name of
packages to their respective pkgbases. This allows for easily finding
the pkgbases (or changes to them) of updated packages.
[!118](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/merge_requests/118)

### Bugfix: Parsing of file modes from mtree files

The .MTREE files may have file modes such as `66` in them, so we
zero-fill the retrieved file modes (to a four char string with leading
zeros) to consolidate the data properly.
[!119](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/merge_requests/119)

### Cleanup: Type hinting

Type hinting got modernized.
[!120](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/merge_requests/120)

### Cleanup: Regular expressions for paths

Replace regular expressions used for checking relative/absolute paths
with `pathlib.Path.is_absolute()` to increase validation speed and
mitigate issues with non-word UTF-8 symbols.
[!121](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/merge_requests/121)

### Check packages against management repository

A set of checks test, that consumed pkgbases are newer than the ones
found in the management repository and that packages can safely replace
packages of the same name (but of differing pkgbase).
[!122](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/merge_requests/122)

### Funding

Requests for funding have been sent in to
[PrototypeFund](https://prototypefund.de/) and
[NLnet](https://nlnet.nl/) for their October round of funding.
Also contacted Pierre-Loup of Valve about repod, potential use of it in
their own infrastructure and funding.

### Milestone 0.3.0

The following issues (and more) still need solving/ implementing:

* Lock files need to be written
  [#117](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/117).
* Cleanup CLI module
  [#127](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/127).
* Tracking of source URL
  [#39](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/39).
* Writing of empty sync databases when there are no packages in the
  repository
  [#123](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/123).
* Cleanup of symlinks on update and removal of packages
  [#107](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/107).

### Add visualization for repod components

Add a visualization of the project and its workflows (current and
future)
[#133](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/133).

### Increase exposure for repod and other Arch software projects

Add a list of all Arch Linux projects (and a short explanatory sentence)
in the [Getting involved wiki
article](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Getting_involved#Software_projects)
to increase their exposure and publish the change
[#134](https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/repod/-/issues/134).

Best, David
