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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| libpinyin 1.0.99.20150203 rebuilds | 2015-02-08 | Felix Yan | libpinyin.so.4 => libpinyin.so.5 Packages go to [community-staging] | 3 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| xorg-server 1.17 rebuild | 2015-02-04 | Laurent Carlier | Rebuild is done in staging There is an ABI bump with: X-ABI-VIDEODRV_VERSION: 18 to 19 X-ABI-EXTENSION_VERSION: 8.0 to 9.0 xf86-video-modesetting is now part of xorg-server package Drivers removed with this release, some are replaced with xf86-video-modesetting; xf86-video-ast xf86-video-cirrus xf86-video-geode xf86-video-mga xf86-video-sisimedia xf86-video-v4l | 38 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| User/Group management | 2015-02-04 | Allan McRae | The packages list here use userdel/groupdel to remove the user they created. These should never be removed automatically as it poses a security risk if any files are left behind with this ownership. Also, it the user/group is registered in the UID/GID database [1], files should not be chown in the install file. Instead, this should be done in the package() function using the ID number. (e.g. chown 97:97 <file>). [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DeveloperWiki:UID_/_GID_Database | 113 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| poppler 0.30.0 rebuilds | 2015-01-29 | Andreas Radke | /usr/lib/libpoppler.so.48 -> /usr/lib/libpoppler.so.49 Packages go into staging. | 14 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| glew 1.12 rebuilds | 2015-01-29 | Andreas Radke | /usr/lib/libGLEW.so.1.11 -> /usr/lib/libGLEW.so.1.12 Packages go to staging. Some packages may also depend on stuff from the poppler 0.30 rebuild list - take care of the proper build order. | 38 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| libinput 0.8.0 .so bump | 2015-01-17 | Andreas Radke | /usr/lib/libinput.so.5 -> /usr/lib/libinput.so.7 packages should go to staging | 4 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| fc-cache | 2015-01-03 | Allan McRae | Most packages install fonts only to the system directory so there is no need for a full cache update. So use fc-cache -s instead of fc-cache -f as it is lots faster for the same effect. | 52 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| validpgpkeys integrity check | 2014-12-29 | Kyle Keen | Makepkg (as of pacman 4.2) now verifies GPG signed files differently. They require a reference to the signer's fingerprint. Without that, makepkg's integrity check will fail. For an example of a good pkgbuild, curl has the following lines: source=("http://curl.haxx.se/download/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz"{,.asc} curlbuild.h) md5sums=('88c5650122873712296d4b1db3f12e6c' 'SKIP' '751bd433ede935c8fae727377625a8ae') validpgpkeys=('914C533DF9B2ADA2204F586D78E11C6B279D5C91') # Daniel Stenberg More details are under the 'validpgpkeys' of the pkgbuild man page. The fingerprint can be generated with gpg --fingerprint <key-identifier or user ID> This is not exactly critical, but catching it now may save some bug reports and user frustration. No rebuild is necessary, simply updating the pkgbuilds should be sufficient. The package list was generated by finding the difference between egrep -R '\.(asc|sig)' /var/abs | cut -d '/' -f 5 | sort -u and grep -R 'validpgpkeys' /var/abs | cut -d '/' -f 5 | sort -u and so may have a false positive if you recently fixed this in SVN. | 275 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| Ruby 2.2 rebuild | 2014-12-25 | Anatol Pomozov | ruby-2.2 just pushed to staging, it bumped libruby.so version and all its dependencies should be rebuilt. It also changed default search path for gems (/usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.1.0/->/usr/lib/ruby/gems/2.2.0/) thus any gem-installed library should be rebuilt as well. | 42 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| openconnect 7.02 rebuild | 2014-12-22 | Felix Yan | libopenconnect.so.3 => libopenconnect.so.5 Packages go to [staging]. | 4 | 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 |

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.

| 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 |
