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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Remove python2-pandas dependency | 2019-07-29 | Andrzej Giniewicz | Starting with Pandas 0.25, Python 2 is no longer supported. To keep repository clean, please remove python2-pandas from any dependencies (hard, optional, check, make). | 4 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| scons/python2-scons split | 2019-07-26 | David Runge | Scons is now python3 based, whereas the split package python2-scons remains as a compatibility package (for now). Please test, whether your dependant package can be built with scons. If it can only be built with python2-scons (note, that the executable name has changed to `scons2`), please report a bug upstream and use the python2 version of the build tool, until the package was fixed (upstream or in packaging). All rebuilt/fixed packages go to staging/community-staging. | 17 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| Fix 'ttf-font' default font setup | 2019-07-11 | Jan Alexander Steffens | The 'ttf-font' provides is meant to install a package that provides a base font set. For this purpose, the fonts must: 1. be outline fonts (not necessarily TrueType), 2. cover at least Latin1, and 3. have at least three families, one each an alias of: - sans-serif - serif - monospace as determined by fontconfig. Please verify that your packages obey these rules and fix them if necessary. - Some families are covered by upstream config in fontconfig. These include: - Bitstream Vera (60-latin.conf) - DejaVu (60-latin.conf) - Luxi (60-latin.conf) - Free (69-unifont.conf) - Nimbus / URW (30-metric-aliases.conf) - TeX Gyre (30-metric-aliases.conf) - Liberation (30-metric-aliases.conf) - CrOS core (not Caladea or Carlito; 30-metric-aliases.conf) - Old Microsoft fonts (60-latin.conf) - Postscript fonts (60-latin.conf) If your package ships superfluous alias config, you should remove it. - If your package already ships alias config but does not enable it by default, install the symlinks from conf.d to conf.avail required to do so. - If your package has no fontconfig config, take a look at the config in the gnu-free-fonts package as a guideline of how it needs to look. - If your package cannot satisfy the rules, remove the 'ttf-font' provides. Please also take this opportunity to move font files from generic dirs like /usr/share/fonts/TTF to per-package dirs like /usr/share/fonts/$pkgname . This interacts better with fontconfig's cache, which has to rescan an entire dir whenever its contents change. | 8 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Nodejs 12 rebuild | 2019-07-09 | Felix Yan | This todo includes binary packages that currently don't build with the new nodejs. | 2 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| x265 3.1 | 2019-06-27 | Maxime Gauduin | Same soname bump as usual, I'll probably have time to rebuild everything. | 7 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| libgit2 0.28.2 | 2019-06-08 | David Runge | libgit2 0.28.2 is now in [staging]. No complications are expected with the dependants, but you never know... ;-) Rebuilds/updates go to [staging]/[community-staging] as usual. | 10 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| java-openjfx 11.0.3.u1 and java8-openjfx 8.u202 | 2019-06-03 | Maxime Gauduin | It's been requested several times that we update our java-openjfx package, and Guillaume has been MIA for a while so let's have at it. All packages go to staging, packages depending on jdk8 (all of them, that is) should use the newly created java8-openjfx instead. | 5 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Perl 5.30 rebuild failures | 2019-05-26 | Florian Pritz | The packages in this list failed to build during the perl 5.30 rebuild with non-trivial failures. Build logs are available here: https://rebuilds.foutrelis.com/ If you have a fixed PKGBUILD that can be built against [staging], commit it to svn and retry the build via the rebuild website. If you push it manually, we'd have to manually update the website. Notes for packages: - perl-json-any: potential fix in https://github.com/karenetheridge/JSON-Any/pull/2 - subversion: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/62513 | 6 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| Electron 5 | 2019-04-25 | Nicola Squartini | Packages with native modules need to be rebuilt. Push to [community-staging]. I also added a new package electron4 in [community-staging] for those package that cannot depend on 5 for the reason in [1] (e.g. atom). [1]: https://electronjs.org/blog/nodejs-native-addons-and-electron-5 | 10 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| botan 2.10 | 2019-04-14 | Alexander Rødseth | New .so version of the Botan crypto library. Rebuilds go to staging, please. | 5 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Replace legacy python2-sphinx usage with python-sphinx | 2019-04-11 | Daniel M. Capella | Sphinx >=2.0.0 only supports Python 3. Note, there is no need to rip it out: python2-sphinx usage can mostly be replaced with python-sphinx usage which will produce the very same docs even for python2 libraries. | 54 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| opencv 4.1 rebuild | 2019-04-08 | Antonio Rojas | Packages go to [staging] | 11 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Phasing out gconf and libglade | 2019-03-27 | Balló György | GConf was used in GNOME 2 as the settings storage daemon. It's deprecated since 2010 in favor of GSettings, and does not receive any fixes since 2013. Libglade is deprecated in favor of GtkBuilder since 2009, and does not receive any fixes since then. After a half year of the proposals[1][2], we try to get rid from these packages. This list contains all applications that depend on these libraries. If the package can be built without these libraries, do so. Otherwise, contact with upstream for a solution, or remove the package. Updated packages can go straight to extra/community.

| LLVM 8 | 2019-03-26 | Evangelos Foutras | libLLVM-7.0.so -> libLLVM-8.0.so libclang*.so.7 -> libclang*.so.8 As always, some breakage is expected. | 33 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| wxgtk 3.1 rebuild | 2019-03-25 | Antonio Rojas | wxgtk just invented the concept of "development version ready for production" [1] - updating should bring some improvements such as better high dpi support. Packages go to [staging] [1] https://wxwidgets.org/news/2018/12/wxwidgets-3.1.2-released/ [CANCELLED] Not such a good idea after all, not everything is ready yet. | 0 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Electron 4 | 2019-03-19 | Nicola Squartini | After a long wait, here comes Electron 4! Packages with native modules need a rebuild. If your package doesn't work with Electron 4 and there is no easy patch, please let me know and I will build a temporary electron3 package. Push to [community-staging]. | 9 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| netcdf 4.6.3 + hdf5 1.10.5 | 2019-03-16 | Bruno Pagani | libnetcdf.so.13 → libnetcdf.so.15 In a patch-level release, yes. They try to concurrence hdf5. hdf5 still affected by FS#60567, even if for once they managed to not break ABI in a patch level release (well after that was pointed during rc stage) Since 80% of the list is common, let’s do only one rebuild. Packages go in [staging] as usual. | 25 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| double-conversion 3.1.3 | 2019-03-08 | Antonio Rojas | packages go to [staging] | 5 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| projectm 3.x rebuilds | 2019-02-24 | Ike Devolder | This is a major update of projectm, there are some packages which optionally depend on projectm, those should be rebuilt projectm 3.x is already in community-testing | 4 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| libnfs 4.0 verification | 2019-02-24 | Ike Devolder | libnfs 4.0 did come with a soname bump libnfs 4.x is already in community-testing | 5 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Fluidsynth > 2.0.0 | 2019-02-16 | David Runge | Fluidsynth has changed its API slightly with its 2.0.0 release. Most applications have been patched and should be able to rebuild (to my knowledge). Candidates go to staging. In the (unlikely) case the upstream project has not been patched to deal with the minor API changes yet, consider dropping support for it, or getting in touch with upstream about it. | 16 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Die python2, die! | 2019-02-16 | Allan McRae | Python 2 reaches End of Life on 2020-01-01. We currently have >950 python2 modules in the repos. A lot of these are not used by any other package in the repositories. These can be removed. | 1 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| openmpi 4.0.0 recheck/rebuild (MPI-1 symbols removal) | 2019-02-14 | Levente Polyak | OpenMPI prototypes for several MPI-1 symbols that were deleted in the MPI-3.0 specification (which was published in 2012) and marked deprecated since 2.0 are no longer available in OpenMPI 4.0. This has happened without soname bumps and openmpi 4.0 is already in [extra] so please push possible changes straight to the repos. Please check and possibly rebuild your packages, backporting upstream fixes or small patches may be needed. Exmaple: MPI_Type_extent has been superseded by MPI_Type_get_extent https://www.open-mpi.org/doc/v4.0/man3/MPI_Type_extent.3.php | 15 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| PyQtWebEngine split | 2019-02-10 | Antonio Rojas | Starting from PyQt 5.12, PyQtWebEngine is in a separate python{,2}-pyqtwebengine package. This split package is now in [testing]. Check if your application depends on it after updating PyQt to 5.12. If it doesn't, remove it from the list (do not just mark it as done). If it does, add the dependency and push the rebuilt package to [testing]. | 5 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| .pyc files in another python version | 2019-01-30 | Felix Yan | The packages either need a simple rebuild or some more fixes to include pyc files of the correct python version: Python 3.6 .pyc that we don't have already: community/cordova 8.1.2-1 usr/lib/node_modules/cordova/node_modules/jasmine-core/images/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-36.pyc community/gloobus-preview 0.4.5.335-3 usr/share/gloobus/__pycache__/gloobus-sushi.cpython-36.pyc community/ibus-libpinyin 1.10.0-1 usr/share/ibus-libpinyin/setup/__pycache__/config.cpython-36.pyc usr/share/ibus-libpinyin/setup/__pycache__/dicttreeview.cpython-36.pyc ... community/phonegap 8.2.2-2 usr/lib/node_modules/phonegap/node_modules/jasmine-core/images/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-36.pyc community/python-invoke 1.2.0-1 usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/invoke/completion/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-36.pyc usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/invoke/completion/__pycache__/complete.cpython-36.pyc community/python2-invoke 1.2.0-1 usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/invoke/completion/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-36.pyc usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/invoke/completion/__pycache__/complete.cpython-36.pyc community/python2-pygame 1.9.4-1 usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/examples/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-36.pyc usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pygame/examples/__pycache__/testsprite.cpython-36.pyc ... community/vim-jedi 0.9.0-1 usr/share/vim/vimfiles/pythonx/__pycache__/jedi_vim.cpython-36.pyc Python 2 package contains Python 3.7 .pyc: community/python2-cram 0.7-3 usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cram/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-37.pyc usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cram/__pycache__/_cli.cpython-37.pyc .... community/python2-execnet 1.5.0-2 usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/execnet/__pycache__/gateway_base.cpython-37.pyc community/python2-zope-schema 4.9.3-1 usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/zope/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-37.pyc usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/zope/schema/__pycache__/__init__.cpython-37.pyc | 11 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| Golang staticlibs + security rebuild | 2019-01-24 | Eli Schwartz | Go 1.11.5 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. Of particular importance is CVE-2019-6486, which this release of Go will fix. All packages currently in the rebuild list import the vulnerable code and must be rebuilt for security purposes. This TODO may be updated later to include all packages that could benefit from a rebuild without a specific security issue associated. If there are any questions, ask me or Foxboron for details. | 52 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Use https in the url field | 2019-01-24 | Filipe Laíns | The packages in this TODO list aren't using https in the 'url' field but it is avaliable. Details can be found here: https://pkgbuild.com/~ffy00/url-http-check/all-url-checked-maintainer.txt | 1676 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| D-Bus policy in /usr/share/dbus-1/system.d instead of /etc/dbus-1/system.d | 2019-01-12 | Bruno Pagani | The former is the default one for packaging, the second should be left empty for user overriding. Some packages allow to change that by using e.g. --with-dbuspolicydir, but if no such option is available, just move the files manually in package(). No need to go through [staging]. | 60 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Missing build depends in python packages | 2019-01-01 | Eli Schwartz | Many packages which use the setup_requires keyword can download their dependencies from PyPI during the build stage; this should never be happening as dependencies should be properly specified in makedepends. Common things to look for: - requirement for pbr. - requirement for setuptools_scm. makedepends can be switched from python-setuptools to python-setuptools-scm - requirement for pytest-runner. In this case, python-pytest-runner must be specified in makedepends, not checkdepends Packages were discovered due to archlinux32 or reproducible builds failures when building without network connectivity. | 24 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
