Working on SandboxUser patch

Just to avoid any potential overlap - I am working on the SandboxUser patch that Remi submitted a long while ago... https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/pacman-dev@lists.archlinux.org/th… The patch is far too big for me to confidently review in one go, so I am splitting it into smaller sections as I go. Progress can be seen here: https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/commits/allan/privsep Allan

[PATCH] repo-add: do not recreate the database if nothing was changed
by Ivan Shapovalov 08 Feb '23

Signed-off-by: Ivan Shapovalov <intelfx(a)intelfx.name> --- When `repo-add` is used to add a package that already exists in the database, it will recompress the database unconditionally, even if `--new` is passed.

[Important] Gitlab migation plan for Pacman
by Morten Linderud 03 Jan '23

03 Jan '23

Hi, Some time ago it was decided to migrate the pacman development from the Mailing List to the Gitlab instance hosted by Arch Linux. The pacman source has been hosted there for a while but the development has strictly been conducted on the Mailing List and this is about to change. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/ The plan is as follows: 1. Open the patch submission via Gitlab and close the mailing list submission 2. Open the Gitlab issue tracker and close down the flyspry issue tracker 3. Manually migrate bugs from flyspry to Gitlab and close the others. Currently the issue tracker is open on Gitlab, and merge requests have also been enabled for some time. No EOL dates has been set on on patch submission nor flyspry, but I'd encourage any new development to using gitlab instead of the mailing list and flyspry from this point on. I propose we close down Flyspry and patch submission 1st of January 2023. This change also implies decommisioning the Patchwork instance. For this to be done we need to keep track of any unmerged/unreviewed patches from the mailing list. This list has been made and if anything is missing please do reach out. https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/issues/1 There is also some documentation work that needs to be done to direct users from the Mailing List to Gitlab. Any help updating this documentation is very much appreciated. Cheers, Morten Linderud

[Git][pacman/pacman][master] pacman-key: Use ngettext for plurals

Allan McRae pushed to branch master at Pacman / Pacman Commits: 3f8029af by Allan McRae at 2023-01-01T13:41:52+10:00 pacman-key: Use ngettext for plurals There are two strings that may be singular or plural in pacman-key. Use ngettext to handle these strings correctly, and provide a fallback function if it is not available. Fixes FS#70556.
