Hi All,

Today I've updated archlinux.org with some interesting changes for 
packagers. Two new reports have been added:

* A new report which includes all required orphan packages in our 
repositories. [1]
* A new report which which includes all orphan non reproducible packages [2]

The non reproducible packages dashboard now includes links to the build 
log and diffoscope output of the packages. Which should help fixing 
those packages.

Lastly archweb now parses the links databases which exists in our 
repository. So as alternative to 'sogrep'

curl -s "https://archlinux.org/packages/sonames?name=libwebsockets.so" | 
jq '.[].pkgname'
"kismet"
"libwebsockets"
"ardour"
"csound"
"mosquitto"
"kismet"
"libwebsockets"

This is still a bit alpha-ish as there seems to be some issues with 
updating the data. [4]

Feedback is welcome, as I just realized it shows packages for all 
repositories so some people might want a filter on "stable" or "testing" 
or "staging" repositories.

Finally what sonames the package requires is shown in the package detail 
page [6]
