Package Todo Lists
Todo lists are used by the developers when a rebuild of a set of packages is needed. This is common when a library has a version bump, during a toolchain rebuild, or a general cleanup of packages in the repositories. The progress can be tracked here, and completed todo lists can be browsed as well.
| Name | Creation Date | Creator | Description | Package Count | Incomplete Count | Kind | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Packages with invalid .BUILDINFO | 2022-05-18 | David Runge | While working on package validation for repod, the following packages were found to have invalid .BUILDINFO files. The invalid values most often consist of long obsoleted option keywords (see options subsection in https://man.archlinux.org/man/makepkg.conf.5#OPTIONS). In case there are questions, please reach out via mail or IRC. As we would like to be able to have a consistent and reproducible set of packages in the official repositories, the below packages need to be rebuilt to have stricter validation that can even be run on a daily basis. Rebuilds go straight to the stable repositories | 58 | 57 | Rebuild | Incomplete |
| Packages with invalid buildtoolver in .BUILDINFO | 2022-05-17 | David Runge | While working on validation for repod, the below packages have been found to have an invalid buildtoolver in their .BUILDINFO file (see https://man.archlinux.org/man/BUILDINFO.5), while having devtools as their buildtool (which is likely caused by not using the canonical devtools). To be able to provide strict validation for ingoing packages in the future, we would like to be able to ensure, that packages built with devtools are valid and that they can be rebuilt using the same tooling. To circumvent issues such as these, please only use devtools for building packages for the official repositories. This is likely going to become a fixed input requirement in the future. Rebuilds go straight to the stable repositories. | 255 | 254 | Rebuild | Incomplete |

| ffmpeg4.4 removal | 2022-02-18 | Maxime Gauduin | New todo to progressively phase out ffmpeg4.4, no rush, just something to keep in mind. Packages can go to extra/community directly. | 30 | 23 | Task | Incomplete |
| DRAFT: OpenSSL 3.0 | 2022-01-09 | Pierre Schmitz | **NOTE**: This is a draft and lists all packages linking to an openssl library. Check the mailing list about information when and how this massive rebuild starts. (openssl-3.0 was not yet pushed into [staging]) List was created like this: https://gist.github.com/pierres/6ed603a7934baec58d7742f1bc6362b6 Most packages should compile fine with OpenSSL 3. There might be deprecation warnings though. If packages still need openssl version 1.1: * Add a dependency to the new "openssl-1.1" package * Compile with e.g. CPPFLAGS+=" -I/usr/include/openssl-1.1" LDFLAGS+=" -L/usr/lib/openssl-1.1" Living documentation about packages that work and fail with OpenSSL 3: https://md.archlinux.org/s/t8HOyhNOi | 494 | 494 | Rebuild | Incomplete |
| OpenSSL 1.0 retirement | 2022-01-08 | Pierre Schmitz | OpenSSL 1.0 is not supported by the upstream project and does not receive any security fixes (at least not without a support contract). For obvious reasons is not advisable to use a security related library that has reach end if life. We should remove support for version 1.0 and any packages that depend on it. If possible these packages can be compiled against openssl-1.1 instead. | 5 | 4 | Task | Incomplete |
| PHP 7 retiredment | 2022-01-08 | Pierre Schmitz | php7 packages were introduced to ease the transition from 7 to 8 as PHP5-Code would throw warnings did not work with version 8 anymore: https://archlinux.org/news/php-80-and-php-7-legacy-packages-are-available/ php7 packages will be removed soon. This list contains packages that still depend on php7. Most actively maintained projects do support PHP 8 by now and we simply need to adjust dependencies. Packages that are no longer in active development should be removed from the repos; we might want to write a combined announcement for these. I did look into most of these packages; see https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2022-January/030610.html for details. | 8 | 8 | Task | Incomplete |
| Remove python2 optdepends from package | 2021-12-20 | Morten Linderud | We are trying to remove python2, several packages has optional dependencies on python2 and they should be removed. If the script isn't ported to python yet, it might be an idea to drop the script completely. | 11 | 3 | Task | Incomplete |
| Cleanup of python-setuptools dependency for console scripts | 2021-01-13 | Felix Yan | In recent versions of setuptools and Python, console-script entry points are using stdlib importlib by default, thus python-setuptools (provider of the pkg_resource module) is no longer a runtime dependency. Please check your package. If python-setuptools is only listed as dependency or optional dependency because of its console scripts (not in install_requires for other reasons, for example), please consider moving it to makedepends or removed, respectively. Packages go to stable repos directly. | 250 | 49 | Task | Incomplete |
| GTK 2 EOL | 2020-12-20 | Alexander Rødseth | GTK 2 has reached its end of life: https://blog.gtk.org/2020/12/16/gtk-4-0/ Many of the listed packages can support GTK3 or 4 just by tweaking the build configuration. Please check if it is possible to upgrade packages to GTK3 or GTK4 (which are pretty similar to each other, in terms of API), or drop the dependency on the "gtk2" package, if it's an optional dependency. Just mark packages as complete if it's not feasible to patch, drop or upgrade them. A build-time gtk2 replacement that is a compatibility layer for using gtk3 is available as the "gtk2-compat" package. It may only work for some projects. Upgraded packages can be pushed directly to extra/community. Thank you! A list of notes about GTK2 packages can be found here https://md.archlinux.org/QfM91GeYSxeT6Y5VoJ5Hrw Feel free to expand. | 105 | 77 | Task | Incomplete |
| Remove usage of makepkg subroutines from PKGBUILDs | 2020-01-17 | David Runge | The use of makepkg subroutines has been discussed in an old ticket [1]. In 2017 a warning about this was added to namcap and recently the wiki has been been updated to reflect this [2]. A list of packages (with false positives) can be found here [3]. Time for a cleanup! As a sidenote: If you find, that you are shadowing a test run in check() (e.g. `test || warning "Test is broken"`) please consider *why* you are doing this and whether only a subset of the tests can be run instead (e.g. because parts of the tests are integration tests anyways, that can not be run in makechrootpkg).

| Conversion of programs that use Python 2 to Python 3 | 2019-12-23 | Chih-Hsuan Yen | Python 2.7 branch is going to be EOL'ed on 2020-01-01 [1]. A previous Todo [2] suggests to remove unused Python 2 libraries. In this Todo, I suggest to investigate programs that still use Python 2, either as runtime dependency or build/check dependencies, and see if it's possible to use Python 3 instead. Notes for some packages are available at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Yan12125/python3-conversion. Whenever you have changed a package to use Python 3, feel free to either move the corresponding row to the Done section or simply remove the row. Also, feel free to update notes if there are something new (e.g., a new Python 3-compatible version released, patches merged, new patches proposed, ...). Package can go directly into the repo; [staging] is not necessary. [1] https://devguide.python.org/ [2] https://www.archlinux.org/todo/die-python2-die/ | 203 | 5 | Task | Incomplete |

| QEMU 7.0.0 packaging changes | 2022-04-21 | David Runge | With QEMU 7.0.0 the package has been turned into a split package. Previous functionality has been largely superseded by meta packages: * qemu -> qemu-desktop * qemu-headless -> qemu-base * qemu-headless-arch-extra/ qemu-arch-extra -> qemu-emulators-full The qemu package itself is now a virtual package, while qemu-common provides some shared functionality. The qemu-{base,desktop,full} meta packages provide qemu (in different feature richness) and also each provide all optdepends. The user mode and system emulators, as well as all hardware emulation and drivers, etc. can now be addressed granularly. Please adjust your packages according to the new setup (e.g. either by depending on specific system emulators or on one of the meta packages). Rebuilds go to [staging]/ [community-staging]. | 11 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
