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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 |

| Imagemagick's convert not reproducible in PKGBUILDs | 2018-09-26 | Jelle van der Waa | This TODO list if for package which use convert to scale/resize or simply convert an image format. These packages become non reproducible due to the date:create/date:modify will be embedded in the new image and imagemagick does not support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. The solution is to use +set date:create +set date:modify as extra arguments for convert. For example yubikey-personalization-gui has become reproducible after this change. [1] [2] An example of a broken package can be spotted here. Fixes can be committed in trunk, the reproducible jenkins builder will be rescheduled at a later time.

| libavresample drop | 2018-08-27 | Maxime Gauduin | libavresample was initially merged into ffmpeg to be a drop-in replacement for libav, but was never maintained by ffmpeg itself in favor of their own libswresample. According to upstream, libswresample can do everything libavresample can do and more [1], plus libavresample has been entirely deprecated at the end of last year [2].
