Hi all,
I have finally had enough time to finish the privsep work. We now download all files using a dedicated user. This is ready to be committed (following any final review) [1]. Note that this currently only separates downloads - more work is needed for (e.g.) package verification to also occur in a separate process.
I consider this marking the milestone for the next package release. I have started a tracker for what is needed to be addressed before the release [2]. There are more things that need added to the list... It just represents my bare minimum before release.
Realistically, given my upcoming commitments, I think the release will happen close to the end of the year.
I have created and marked merge requests for everything I'd like to get into 7.0.0. If there's anything else that needs to be looked at, I have a little available bandwidth at the moment for pacman-related things. apg
Cheers, Allan
