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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| protobuf 3.12 rebuild | 2020-05-17 | Lukas Fleischer | Please rebuild affected packages and add them to [staging]/[community-staging]. | 34 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Buildinfo Format 1 rebuild | 2020-05-06 | Santiago Torres | The following packages have an old .BUILDINFO file format and thus they can't be used within the rebuilderd infrastructure. Please rebuild :) | 354 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| leatherman rebuild | 2020-05-01 | Christian Rebischke | I've rebuild leatherman from 1.7.2 to 1.12.0. This means we need to rebuild facter and libwhereami, too (iirc). facter and libwhereami go to community-staging. | 3 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| pdal 2.1.0 | 2020-04-30 | Sven-Hendrik Haase | Rebuilds go to staging | 4 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| json-c 0.14 | 2020-04-24 | Jan Alexander Steffens | libjson-c.so.4 -> libjson-c.so.5 Rebuilds go to staging. | 33 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| LLVM 10 | 2020-04-11 | Evangelos Foutras | libLLVM-9.so -> libLLVM-10.so libclang.so.9 -> libclang.so.10 libclang*.so.9 -> libclang-cpp.so.10 liblld*.so.9 -> liblld*.so.10 **Important change in this release** All of clang's C++ API is now shipped as `libclang-cpp.so` instead of the numerous component libraries we had before. This change will require patching in most packages to use the new library name. Look for upstream commits that support the new library; if that fails, Fedora and/or Gentoo should have patches for this. In addition to the above, the clang package no longer includes static libraries (which should be avoided anyway). | 45 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

Please contact Foxboron if you have questions or if upstream is weird and you are unsure how to package this properly. I'll fix it for you. | 6 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| Phasing out PyGTK | 2020-03-14 | Balló György | PyGTK was used to create GTK2 applications in python2. It's deprecated and unmaintained since 2011 in favor of PyGObject, and does not receive any fixes since then. We try to get rid from this package. This list contains all applications that depend on PyGTK. What should be done: - If PyGObject port is available and usable, then try to update. - Otherwise, if the PyGTK usage can be disabled, build without it. (gimp, nmap) - Otherwise, if the package has inactive upstream, then remove it.

| Perl transient openssl dependencies | 2020-02-08 | Santiago Torres | These packages may implicitly depend on perl via the base package->pacman->openssl->perl, and *may* require perl (due to mentioning the regular expression "perl" in a script). Verify if your package requires perl and add it as a depend because openssl will stop depending on it; if it is a false positive, simply mark this TODO as complete.

| alpm-hooks should use Type = Path, not File | 2020-01-19 | Eli Schwartz | pacman 5.2 deprecated hooks which use the "File" type; see https://git.archlinux.org/pacman.git/commit/?id=39c20ad4f1d5f6e915b5be8976b6a94885ca3b0c for details. We should use the renamed type, which is "Path". This change is a simple find/replace and has no side effects. | 29 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| gnome-keyring dependency replacement with org.freedesktop.secrets | 2019-12-01 | Bruno Pagani | Following keepassxc 2.5.0 release, we now have two implementations of org.freedesktop.secrets. We decided in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/64283 to have both packages provide this virtual name, and now every package depending on this keyring should be switched to this dep. I’ve listed all packages currently depending on gnome-keyring, it might happen that some packages are depending on it for reasons other than org.freedesktop.secrets service, if so just let me know and mark them as done. Package can go directly into the repo, [staging] is not necessary. | 16 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| base group removal | 2019-10-06 | Robin Broda | The base group has been replaced by a base metapackage. Packages currently in the base group should drop the group. This does not require a rebuild, as it doesn't cause any issues. | 50 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| golang 1.13.1 security rebuild | 2019-10-04 | Eli Schwartz | Go 1.13.1 has been released and in order to take advantage of the updated runtime, all packages that makedepend on go or go-pie must be rebuilt. This is due to the statically built nature of the language. This release of Go in particular contains one change from 1.13, fixing CVE-2019-16276. The rebuild list reflects all packages utilizing the `net/http` or `net/textproto` library (and therefore importing the vulnerable code) which must be rebuilt for security purposes. For more details see: https://github.com/golang/go/compare/go1.13...go1.13.1 https://github.com/golang/go/commit/5a6ab1ec3e678640befebeb3318b746a64ad986c https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-16276 | 68 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| Fix unquoted variables which break building the package in certain scenarios | 2019-09-20 | Robin Broda | These packages have unquoted variables to paths which can contain spaces, this will lead to word-splitting during variable expansion and break the building of these packages. This is a packaging bug, fixes do not require a rebuild and can simply go to trunk. | 544 | 0 | Task | Complete |
| boost 1.71 remaining rebuilds | 2019-09-20 | Levente Polyak | Please check https://rebuilds.foutrelis.com/?all for current build logs and put fixed versions into [staging]. I assume mapnik will need a side-installable legacy boost 1.69 | 2 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| Packaging qtwebengine dictionaries | 2019-09-08 | Eli Schwartz | As discussed in https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2019-August/029648.html and https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2019-September/029666.html, we would like to begin packaging qtwebengine dictionaries matching each hunspell dictionary in the repos. Each of the packages in this list provides one or more .dic files. In order to build qtwebengine dictionaries: - add a makedepends on qt5-webengine - run `qwebengine_convert_dict foo.dic foo.bdic` for each .dic in the source tree - package each .bdic file in /usr/share/qt/qtwebengine_dictionaries/ - for each .dic symlink installed (if any), install the corresponding .bdic symlink | 34 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| MathJax 3 | 2019-09-04 | Antonio Rojas | In the unlikely case that your application supports mathjax 3 already, just mark it as done. Otherwise, change the dependency to mathjax2 and adjust the mathjax path to /usr/share/mathjax2 in the PKGBUILD Packages go to [staging] | 6 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
