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 | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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 | Complete |
| GCC 9 rebuild | 2019-05-23 | Antonio Rojas | libgo.so.13 -> 14 | 3 | 0 | 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 | Complete |
| botan 2.10 | 2019-04-14 | Alexander Rødseth | New .so version of the Botan crypto library. Rebuilds go to staging, please. | 5 | 0 | 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 | Complete |
| opencv 4.1 rebuild | 2019-04-08 | Antonio Rojas | Packages go to [staging] | 11 | 0 | Complete |
| x264 157 rebuild | 2019-03-27 | Maxime Gauduin | libx264.so=155-64 -> libx264.so=157-64 The usual stuff, I'll probably have time to rebuild everything. | 12 | 0 | Complete |
| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | Complete |
| double-conversion 3.1.3 | 2019-03-08 | Antonio Rojas | packages go to [staging] | 5 | 0 | Complete |
| protobuf 3.7.0 rebuild | 2019-03-03 | Lukas Fleischer | Please rebuild affected packages and move them to [staging]/[community-staging]. | 31 | 0 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | Complete |
| libvpx 1.8.0 | 2019-02-05 | Maxime Gauduin | usr/lib/libvpx.so.5 => usr/lib/libvpx.so.6 Please push to staging & cie. | 15 | 0 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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.
