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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| libwebsockets 4.1.0 rebuild | 2020-09-07 | David Runge | The upgrade to libwebsockets 4.1.0 introduced a soname bump. Rebuilds go to community-staging. | 4 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Electron 10 | 2020-08-27 | Nicola Squartini | Push to [community-staging]. I've added the electron9 in [community-staging] package for those who need it. | 10 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| libxcrypt rebuild | 2020-08-20 | Bartłomiej Piotrowski | The new glibc in [testing] repository drops libcrypt.h header and corresponding static library. The upstream plans to eventually remove libcrypt from glibc tree in favor of a separate project libxcrypt; it's now available in [testing]. There's no breakage (famous last words) as glibc still ships libcrypt.so.1 for backwards compatibility, while libxcrypt package provides development headers and library with bumped soname version due to removal of the functions providing insecure hashes. You may need to add '#include <crypt.h>' if it was missing before as uninstd.h no longer provides a declaration of the crypt function. Packages go to [testing] until the toolchain is moved to [core]. | 111 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| opusfile 0.12 rebuild | 2020-08-16 | Alexander Rødseth | Rebuilds go to staging. Thanks! | 9 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| Electron 9.2 | 2020-08-07 | Nicola Squartini | There should be no breaking changes. If rebuild is needed push to [community-staging]. | 7 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| fmt, libebml, libmatroska and x264 rebuild | 2020-08-04 | Maxime Gauduin | All libs had a soname bump and some packages are overlapping so let's do it all at once. | 25 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Lua 5.4 rebuild | 2020-06-30 | Anatol Pomozov | Lua 5.4 is released a and we need to rebuild lua specific packages. lua 5.4 is in [staging]. There is also lua53 package in [testing] one can use if the package is not compatible with 5.4. | 64 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| removal of "xorg-font-utils" transitional package | 2020-06-26 | Andreas Radke | We are going to drop the transitional package "xorg-font-utils" together with the ToDo list to remove unneeded fontconfig and xorg-mkfontscale dependencies from font packages. Please remove "xorg-font-utils" from all PKGBUILDs and replace with the packages that were covered by its dependencies where needed: xorg-bdftopcf / xorg-mkfontdir / xorg-mkfontscale / xorg-font-util These should only be used in "makedepends" where possible. Packages can go to extra/community. | 37 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| remove unneeded fontconfig and xorg-mkfontscale dependencies from font packages | 2020-06-26 | Eli Schwartz | These packages only provide font data files, but depend on programs that make use of the fonts. This is a legacy of the pre-hook days, when each package included a post_upgrade scriptlet that ensured the fontconfig/xorg cache was rebuilt. The dependencies should be removed, and if/when the fontconfig or xorg-mkfontscale packages are installed, they will build the entire font cache from scratch. Be sure to also remove the xorg-font-utils dummy package if it is still a dependency. See https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/66012 | 48 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Remove .doctrees from installed files for reproducible builds | 2020-06-22 | Jelle van der Waa | The .doctrees file is generated by sphinx are cached files used when developing documentation so that sphinx does not have to reparse all markdown files. They shouldn't be packaged as they are not required and they lead to the package being unreproducible as the pickled files contain unreproducible data. | 8 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Perl 5.32.0 rebuild | 2020-06-21 | Florian Pritz | packages go to staging. upstream release notes: https://metacpan.org/pod/release/XSAWYERX/perl-5.32.0/pod/perldelta.pod EDIT: we will rebuild this list automatically with Evangelos' rebuilder. | 532 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| python-pillow 7 | 2020-06-15 | Kyle Keen | Pillow 7 dropped python2 support (yay!), and tweaked the API in a reverse incompatible fashion: https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/stable/releasenotes/ Please test if your package works (or builds for makedeps, or passes for checkdeps) with python-pillow-7, which is in [staging]. If it does work, check it off and do nothing. If it doesn't work, either patch for pillow 7 (and push to [staging]), or tweak the imports from `PIL` to `PIL6` and change the dependency to python-pillow6 (and push to [community]). Python2 packages require no changes. | 46 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| cuda 11 rebuild | 2020-06-08 | Sven-Hendrik Haase | cuda 11 is out. It's technically an rc but nvidia is kinda so-so about rc hygiene. Important things to note: - compute_80 and sm_80 have been added so add those targets if applicable. - sm_30 and sm_32 have been dropped so remove those from your targets. - sm_52 is now the default target. - Now officially uses gcc 9 as its main compiler. Rebuilds go to testing and will stay there for a good long while. https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cuda-toolkit-release-notes/index.html | 11 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Move from `go-pie` dependency to `go` | 2020-06-02 | Morten Linderud | Yo. This is the followup after the go-pie removal. All of the listed packages should still have some dependency on go-pie. Please move these packages to the go, and utilize the new guidelines to achieve PIE and RELRO binary hardening where applicable. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Go_package_guidelines | 94 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| x265 3.4 rebuild | 2020-06-02 | Maxime Gauduin | Same as usual, I'll probably have time to do everything. | 9 | 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 |

| 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 |

| 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.

| 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 |
