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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| cmake 3.10 rebuild | 2017-11-22 | Felix Yan | Packages used to put file in /usr/share/cmake-3.9 need to be rebuilt to put them in the new place. | 5 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Enchant and libical soname bump | 2017-11-22 | Jan de Groot | Enchant and libical dropped some deprecated functions and soname was bumped. Some packages still use these deprecated functions, they will need patches. BLFS has already migrated to enchant 2.x and libical 3.x, their build manuals contain simple sed-instructions. Please generate patches instead. Some help for patching packages that BLFS doesn't have patches for: https://github.com/AbiWord/enchant/commit/744a1a19c1d0a5c3e1359fa994cf60a4d98ee12e#diff-9eef52f244d01627950b4b2debb7ad92 | 39 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| Packages with out of repositories dependencies | 2017-10-26 | Giancarlo Razzolini | These packages either list AUR packages as optional dependencies, or non-existent optional dependencies. The optional deps should be moved to the appropriate repository, either [community] or [extra], alongside the main package. We should not list AUR packages as optional dependencies. | 85 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Packages signed by Daniel Isenmann | 2017-10-17 | Antonio Rojas | These packages need to be rebuilt with a valid key before removing Daniel's key from archlinux-keyring. | 17 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| go-pie rebuild | 2017-10-12 | Bartłomiej Piotrowski | The extra/go-pie package provides Go compiler with PIE build mode enabled by default. Please replace go in the makedepends inside your PKGBUILDs and rebuild your packages. Push them straight to [extra]/[community]. | 54 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| Replace lesstif with openmotif | 2017-08-31 | Antonio Rojas | lesstif has been dead for years, it's buggy (FS#55449, FS#47569) and even upstream discourages using it [1]. Rebuild your packages against openmotif instead so we can drop it from the repos. Packages can go straight to stable (or testing). [1] http://lesstif.sourceforge.net/ | 10 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| opencv 3.3 | 2017-08-19 | Antonio Rojas | Packages go to [staging] | 8 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| GHC 8.2.1 | 2017-08-17 | Felix Yan | Most packages have been automatically rebuilt. Here is a list of those failed to build, please consider to fix them or drop (temporarily). | 6 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| cmake 3.9 rebuild | 2017-08-14 | Felix Yan | Packages used to put file in /usr/share/cmake-3.8 need to be rebuilt to put them in the new place. | 5 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| code.google.com retirement | 2017-07-16 | Jelle van der Waa | code.google.com source urls are no longer working. Update them for your packages. This todolist might include url= containing code.google.com, which should be updated as well. Script used to find these urls: grep -lr "code.google" | awk -F "/" '{print $1}' | uniq | 68 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| imagemagick 6.9.9.0 rebuild | 2017-07-15 | Antonio Rojas | libMagick++-6.Q16HDRI.so.7 -> 8 libMagickCore-6.Q16HDRI.so.4 -> 5 libMagickWand-6.Q16HDRI.so.4 -> 5 Packages go to [staging] | 18 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| exiv2 0.26 rebuild | 2017-07-14 | Antonio Rojas | libexiv2.so.14 -> 26 Packages go to [staging] | 26 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| hardening-wrapper removal | 2017-07-10 | Bartłomiej Piotrowski | With recent changes in toolchain, it is feasible to replace hardening-wrapper with simple rebuild against testing (with testing/devtools installed). The major differences are lack of -fstack-check (which is not enough to prevent stack clashes without full distro rebuild) and no enforcement of full RELRO if LDFLAGS are ignored. Remove hardening-wrapper from makedepends and run checksec on both old and rebuild packages to see if there is any regression. If yes, it means that build system should be patched to reflect out LDFLAGS instead; otherwise push packages to stable repositories and mark them as done. | 11 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Remove js185 from the repos | 2017-07-10 | Jelle van der Waa | js185 is the legacy version of the JavaScript interpreter, it has numerous security issues therefore packages should update to js or js38 where possible. | 4 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| PIE static libraries rebuild | 2017-07-10 | Bartłomiej Piotrowski | Toolchain in [core] enforces position-independent executables. Non-PIE static libraries have to be rebuild, otherwise dependent packages will fail to build. If anything on the list seems bogus, ping me on IRC and remove from the todo. Packages can be pushed straight to [extra]/[community], as long as you remember to build them with up to date devtools and toolchain. | 198 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| NTL 10.5 rebuild | 2017-07-07 | Antonio Rojas | libntl.so.34 -> 35 | 8 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| Clean qt5-tools dependency | 2017-06-25 | Balló György | Most packages require qt5-tools only to build, except if they use QtHelp. Please verify your package and move qt5-tools to makedepends if needed. If your package really depends on qt5-tools, just mark it as completed. | 8 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Gna! retirement | 2017-06-25 | Balló György | gna.org was retired recently, so any url and source should be changed in order to use the "new" upstream url. Unlucky it's not so easy to find the new url for any package, since there was no a complete migration to another hoster.

| OpenSSL 1.0 - take 3 | 2017-05-17 | Jan de Groot | We need to re-version OpenSSL library symbols to stay compatible with Debian Stable and non-free software. FS#53836 This one breaks ABI with openssl-1.0-3, so build order can be important here. | 30 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| cmake 3.8 rebuild | 2017-04-17 | Felix Yan | Packages used to put file in /usr/share/cmake-3.7 need to be rebuilt to put them in the new place. | 5 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| openssl rebuild, take 2 | 2017-04-05 | Antonio Rojas | The openssl 1.1 rebuild causes issues in some packages which have dependencies linking to different openssl versions, due to symbols clash. This affects mostly Qt packages. To prevent this, openssl-1.0 1.0.2.k-3 adds versioned symbols. Packages that link to openssl-1.0 need to be rebuilt against this new version to have them use the versioned symbols. Packages go to staging. | 33 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
| Guile 2.2.0 | 2017-03-29 | Bartłomiej Piotrowski | libguile-2.0.so → libguile-2.2.so libguilereadline-v-18.so has been removed. There is also guile2.0 package that can be co-installed with guile. Packages go to [staging]. | 17 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |

| libass, libbluray and x265 rebuild | 2017-03-26 | Maxime Gauduin | Now that the OpenSSL rebuild is done, we can have a crack at this. Packages go to staging. libass.so=5-64 -> libass.so=9-64 libbluray.so=1-64 -> libbluray.so=2-64 libx265.so=102-64 -> libx265.so=110-64 | 29 | 0 | Rebuild | Complete |
