pacman-7.0 release planning
by Allan McRae 09 Feb '24

09 Feb '24

Hi all, I have finally had enough time to finish the privsep work. We now download all files using a dedicated user. This is ready to be committed (following any final review) [1]. Note that this currently only separates downloads - more work is needed for (e.g.) package verification to also occur in a separate process. I consider this marking the milestone for the next package release. I have started a tracker for what is needed to be addressed before the release [2]. There are more things that need added to the list... It just represents my bare minimum before release. Realistically, given my upcoming commitments, I think the release will happen close to the end of the year. Cheers, Allan [1] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/merge_requests/23 [2] https://gitlab.archlinux.org/pacman/pacman/-/milestones/1

[Git][pacman/pacman][master] add.c: drop newline in permission and ownership log messages

[Git][pacman/pacman][master] 2 commits: _alpm_handle_free: free all in-memory resources
by Allan McRae (＠allan) 10 Jan '24

Allan McRae pushed to branch master at Pacman / Pacman Commits: 929bad61 by Andrew Gregory at 2024-01-09T22:39:14+00:00 _alpm_handle_free: free all in-memory resources Freeing handle resources was previously split awkwardly between _alpm_handle_free and alpm_release. This consolidates the freeing of all in-memory resources to _alpm_handle_free, leaving alpm_release as a thin wrapper that provides safety checks and frees any external resources, e.g. removing lock files.

I am not aware of any issues caused by the open file descriptors, but think it better to not leave random open fd's lying around.

[Git][pacman/pacman][master] 2 commits: strip: split off file stripping and debug package creation
by Allan McRae (＠allan) 10 Jan '24

Allan McRae pushed to branch master at Pacman / Pacman Commits: 7a4fff33 by Morten Linderud at 2023-12-17T16:04:45+01:00 strip: split off file stripping and debug package creation Some projects might duplicate the file in multiple locations for one reason or another. When debug packages are enabled, `makepkg` will only strip the first occurrence of the binary and abort early on all the other binaries.
