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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| opencc 1.0.1 rebuild | 2014-11-07 | Felix Yan | opencc 1.0.1 introduced API breakage, upstream patches are needed. Packages go into [*staging]. | 4 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| boost 1.57.0 rebuild | 2014-11-04 | Evangelos Foutras | There shouldn't be any API breakages. Rebuilds go in [staging]/[community-staging]. | 80 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| libcec 2.2.0 | 2014-11-04 | Ike Devolder | Verify correct operation and compilation of packages (optionally) depending on libcec there seem to be a fair amount of possible breaking changes Just build in community-testing so this does not block anything | 3 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| remove cloog/isl dependency in gcc packages | 2014-11-03 | Allan McRae | The latest isl is incompatible with gcc. The patch we carry is a hack, and I am fairly convinced does the wrong thing. I have built gcc-4.9.2 using in tree builds of isl/cloog. This uses the latest compatible (and upstream recommended) isl/cloog versions. Check on the PKGUILD in SVN. I suggest everyone does the same. If you really want to keep the isl/cloog deps, you can have them in [community] once gcc-4.9.2 hits [core]. As an aside, why is mingw-w64-gcc-base in the repos? | 6 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| upower 0.99.1 rebuild | 2014-10-22 | Evangelos Foutras | usr/lib/libupower-glib.so.2 -> usr/lib/libupower-glib.so.3 ** I've already done the rebuilds; this list is only used for tracking. ** | 11 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Remove dbus-core as a provides/replaces | 2014-10-19 | Dave Reisner | Please rebuild your package to replace "dbus-core" with "dbus" as a dependency so we can remove dbus-core as a provides/replaces. | 16 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| freerdp bump | 2014-10-14 | Sergej Pupykin | 1.0 -> 1.1 in staging (remmina 1.1 works only with freerdp-1.1, don't know why remmina was released but freerdp is still beta) | 3 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| protobuf 2.6.0 rebuild | 2014-10-03 | Bartłomiej Piotrowski | libprotobuf-lite.so.8 → libprotobuf-lite.so.9 libprotobuf.so.8 → libprotobuf.so.9 libprotoc.so.8 → libprotoc.so.9 Packages go to [staging]. | 11 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| vte3 0.38.0 | 2014-09-28 | Evangelos Foutras | usr/lib/libvte2_90.so.9 -> usr/lib/libvte-2.91.so.0 ** vte3 0.38.0-1 is in [testing] so rebuilt packages need to be pushed directly to [testing]/[community-testing]. ** (Some minor porting to the vte-2.91 API is required.) Update 2014-10-07: Added vte290 for packages that can't be ported to the new API yet. | 14 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Moving KDE4 translations | 2014-09-27 | Andrea Scarpino | KDE Frameworks 5 applications will install their translations into /usr/share/locale/$LANG the same way KDE 4 applications do. Then they will conflict. See also FS#41684 for more info. To fix this, we are moving KDE 4 translations into /usr/share/locale/kde4/LANG, this is simple as rebuilding kdelibs and ALL applications using it. This is a list of packages which depend on it (directly or not), but packages that need kdelibs just to build are missing. Packages go in [staging]. Please wait for kdelibs to finish the build. | 66 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| Fix "bad mtime" pyc/pyo files for python packages | 2014-08-27 | Felix Yan | The list of packages are currently having pyc/pyo files with "bad mtime" (e.g. some/all .pyc/pyo files are older than their corresponding .py files), which was often caused by doing modification after installation. The most common case is sed'ing shebangs after calling python2 setup.py install. Please fix this by moving the needed modifications into prepare() phase. The problem is that the interpreter will refuse to load the files, which increases load time for each affected file in the package, and renders the shipped pyc/pyo files useless. A bit more background: A bug report of python2 was opened: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/37006 Many thanks to Kyle so we have the tool to generate the list [1]. An old list had been put on the topic of #archlinux-tu for more than 8 months. I've generated the list again and am opening this TODO as that list is somewhat outdated as of now, and a TODO should help the progress further.

| ppp 2.4.7 | 2014-08-23 | Jan Alexander Steffens | Rebuilds in [testing] are already done; this list is just for the eventual move. | 6 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| glew 1.11 rebuild | 2014-08-18 | Maxime Gauduin | glew 1.11 has a new soname. It's already in [extra] so please push directly in [extra] or [community], and to [staging] or [community-staging] for packages overlapping with the boost rebuild. | 38 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| boost 1.56.0 rebuild | 2014-08-11 | Bartłomiej Piotrowski | Boost Rebuild Show™ is back! This time there are some ABI and source breaking changes. More information can be found in release notes[1]. Please push rebuilt packages to [staging]. [1] http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_56_0.html | 81 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| wxgtk no-STL rebuild | 2014-08-08 | Florian Pritz | Rebuild against wxgtk 3.0.1-2 and push to staging. | 12 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| twisted->python2-twisted rename | 2014-08-02 | Felix Yan | The twisted package was renamed to python2-twisted as a Python 3 counterpart was added. Please update your PKGBUILD and change the dependency name to "python2-twisted". Also, if twisted was the only reason not to ship the package with Python 3, you might check "python-twisted" and give it a try. The rebuild is not in a hurry and can be postponed (same as the lzo2->lzo one), and no [staging] needed as well. | 17 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| protobuf-c 1.0.0 rebuild | 2014-08-01 | Bartłomiej Piotrowski | libprotobuf-c.so.0 → libprotobuf-c.so.1 | 3 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| lzo2->lzo rename | 2014-07-31 | Anatol Pomozov | 'lzo2' package was renamed to more correct Arch name 'lzo'. Please update your PKGBUILD and change the dependency name to 'lzo'. The actual rebuild can be postponed, there is no hard deadline for it. No need to push packages to [staging], push it directly to [testing] and then [stable]. This is just dependency name change. lzo2 and lzo are ABI compatible. On a related note - some packages use version restriction for lzo dependency (e.g. lzo>2.06). The restriction can be dropped. lzo 2.08 has been in the repo for a long time and I doubt it will be downgraded. | 24 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| x264/libx264 split | 2014-07-26 | Bartłomiej Piotrowski | In order to support 10bit depth in x264, the package has been split into three standalone packages: x264 (containing CLI tools and development headers) and libx264/libx264-10bit. Please confirm whether your packages make use of command line utilities and if not, replace the dependency on x264 with libx264. Note that x264 in [staging] doesn't pull libx264 anymore. It may be also needed to put x264 explicitly in makedepends array. | 12 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| mtree rebuilds | 2014-06-29 | Allan McRae | pacman-4.1 added mtree files to packages to enable use to verify more aspects of the packages installed on the filesystem. These packages have not been rebuilt in a long time so are missing this file. Now with all repos! Note there is no real rush for this, but it would be good to have done before pacman-4.2 is released (scheduled for August). | 1075 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| giflib soname bump | 2014-05-27 | Jan de Groot | Slight API change, comes with a soname bump. Code might require patching, as open/close functions take an integer as 2nd option now. This replaces the old GifFile->Error pointer. If no error handling is done in the software, just pass NULL here. | 33 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| Removing glib/gtk from make/optdepends | 2014-05-17 | Eric Bélanger | We are going to remove the old glib and gtk packages from the repos [1]. Obviously, packages that require them will also be removed. This todo list is for packages which has a make/optdepends on either glib, gtk or a package that has glib/gtk in its dependency tree. Remove gtk support or patch to build without gtk if possible. Push the updated packages straight in the [extra] or [community] repos.

| KActivities4 | 2014-05-17 | Andrea Scarpino | IGNORE THIS: non really needed because adding it to kdebase-runtime will add it everywhere it is used. KActivities has been split between kactivities4 and libkactivities4 to allow co-instability with KF5. Packages that links to libkactivities.so.6 needs to explicitly depend upon libkactivities4. | 2 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
