Hi all,
I think the 6.0.0 release is roughly ready to go.
Here are my known blockers:
1) Remove "total download" callback There is a patch submitted which I briefly looked at. Need to do a proper review, but looked fine apart from copy/paste issue with comment.
I just sent an update with a new comment. Still waiting for a feedback from Andrew as it is the item we've discussed with him at IRC channel. cc-ing him to this thread.
2) prevent spamming at the end of downloads when the top server in the mirrorlist is bad. I sent an RFC for this. It is not the best of patches, but serves as a start...
The only other things I have in the roadmap on Flyspray are:
FS#61497 - add a timestamp file to repos FS#65677 - [makepkg] not all source files get included in debug packages
Both are nice to have, but not regressions so can be delayed a release (unless someone else propose patches in the meantime).
Is there anything else that people think is essential to get in pacman-6.0.0? I know there are a few other downloader issues listed in the meta-bug, but I think these are not critical and can be future improvements.
A few people reported about corrupted UI for parallel downloads. It seems to be related to "slow downloads" or "failed downloads" situations. I would really love to see this bug fixed. Though I do not know how to reproduce the problem.
