Pacman 7.1.0 release timeline and Transifex help
by Allan McRae 12 Oct '25

12 Oct '25

Hi all, *Release* It is about time for a new release... I made merge requests !302 and !303 today, and will push them in a couple of days. I have reviewed all other issues and merge requests and can not spot any that I consider essential a new release, so I think we are ready. Let me know if there are any issues or merge requests that I should consider, otherwise I'll start a freeze at the end of week. *Transifex* I'd also like some help with managing the translations on Transifex. I can manage the pushing/pulling of translations etc, but would like help in managing requests to join teams or create new languages. What this requires is: 1) looking at new language requests and seeing if they are warranted - e.g. if we have FI and someone requests fi_FI, then there is no point accepting that request as these are the same language. 2) looking at requests for people to join teams for existing languages. More translators does not necessarily make better translations. I tended to add people when languages are not fully translated. 3) we could probably do better in managing team leads - my guess is a large proportion are no longer active. Longer term, we probably need to move the pacman translations under an Arch or pacman specific project as it is currently in the Toofishes group (and they have been gone for ages!) Is Transifex even a good solution these days. Let me know off-list if you are interested. Cheers, Allan

[Git][pacman/pacman][master] Remove initialisation of unions

Allan McRae pushed to branch master at Pacman / Pacman Commits: e1507ad7 by Allan McRae at 2025-08-05T15:45:20+10:00 Remove initialisation of unions As of gcc-15, unions are no longer zero initialised when "{0}" is used. To revert to the old behaviour, either assumes building for C23 or adding a compiler option that may or may not work with other compilers. Remove current "initialization" to make it clear that full initialization is not occuring. All relevant fields are currently initialized before use.

Add the ability to control package installs based on licenses
by Bryson Steck 31 Jul '25

31 Jul '25

Hi all, I've been looking through the source code of pacman and wanted to ask the dev's their thoughts of a new feature. I use Arch on my desktop and Gentoo on my laptop. I love Gentoo, but the compile times really drag on sometimes and I really don't want to wait for them, /especially/ when using Gentoo as a desktop OS. I can't seem to drop it though because of one big feature that Portage has: the ability to mask packages based on their licensing with the ACCEPT_LICENSE variable. I love the fact that I can be stopped from installing a nonfree package, but not be so restrictive that I cannot install them if I wish. I can't seem to find that feature in any other package manager natively, so I'm looking for avenues to contribute to them. I thought pacman would be a good choice for this, as I am very familiar with Arch already and that the Arch Wiki itself discourages the use of nonfree software <https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nonfree_applications_package_guidelines>. I'm not sure if this feature was requested before (I checked the Gitlab issues to no avail), but I am interested in spending time on this issue if there doesn't seem to be any push back. Let me know! Thanks! -- Bryson Steck bryson(a)steck.dev
