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.

| 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.

| golang 1.13.1 security rebuild | 2019-10-04 | Eli Schwartz | Go 1.13.1 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. This release of Go in particular contains one change from 1.13, fixing CVE-2019-16276. The rebuild list reflects all packages utilizing the `net/http` or `net/textproto` library (and therefore importing the vulnerable code) which must be rebuilt for security purposes. For more details see: https://github.com/golang/go/compare/go1.13...go1.13.1 https://github.com/golang/go/commit/5a6ab1ec3e678640befebeb3318b746a64ad986c https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2019-16276 | 68 | 0 | Complete |

| boost 1.71 remaining rebuilds | 2019-09-20 | Levente Polyak | Please check https://rebuilds.foutrelis.com/?all for current build logs and put fixed versions into [staging]. I assume mapnik will need a side-installable legacy boost 1.69 | 2 | 0 | Complete |

| Packaging qtwebengine dictionaries | 2019-09-08 | Eli Schwartz | As discussed in https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2019-August/029648.html and https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-dev-public/2019-September/029666.html, we would like to begin packaging qtwebengine dictionaries matching each hunspell dictionary in the repos. Each of the packages in this list provides one or more .dic files. In order to build qtwebengine dictionaries: - add a makedepends on qt5-webengine - run `qwebengine_convert_dict foo.dic foo.bdic` for each .dic in the source tree - package each .bdic file in /usr/share/qt/qtwebengine_dictionaries/ - for each .dic symlink installed (if any), install the corresponding .bdic symlink | 34 | 0 | Complete |
| MathJax 3 | 2019-09-04 | Antonio Rojas | In the unlikely case that your application supports mathjax 3 already, just mark it as done. Otherwise, change the dependency to mathjax2 and adjust the mathjax path to /usr/share/mathjax2 in the PKGBUILD Packages go to [staging] | 6 | 0 | Complete |

| Use HTTPS instead of HTTP in URLs | 2019-08-05 | Filipe Laíns | The packages listed contain URLs using HTTP when HTTPS is available. Please update them to use HTTPS. It is possible that some of the flagged URLs are false positives, please check them before making any changes! There's no need to release a new revision of the package, simply commit the changes to trunk. You can find a list of the target URLs here[1]. It contains the maintainer(s) as well as the faulty URLs for each package, so please check it to make sure you got everything. Thank you!

| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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.
