And as a packager for Arch the past 3 years: I had no clue this page existed. Evidently we are bad at these policy things. But I'd rather call them social norms then packaging policies.

We don't have any policy. Sticking with upstream is a shared value between the packagers but it's important to note that we generally don't enforce any policy. Most packages has no patches. Usually it's regressions or se

It's funny. I was discussing looking into packaging kubernetes with another Arch developer yesterday, and noticed this discussion today. I'm the package maintainer for go and maintain a number of go packages in Arch Linux, along w

No, it's existed for 5 years. It has consolidated larger parts of the Skype/Teamspeak/Mumble users but VC has swallowed discord whole before it meaningfully replaces old FOSS communities. The future is probably (still) going

Making it noticeable isn't going to get you closer to reproducible builds though. There is still a quite a lot of effort that needs to go into patching individual packages and fix the non-determinism introduced by the compilation proce

Much like Trammell I have been annoyed by the complexity of the current secure boot tooling ecosystem. This has lead me to a 2500 long UEFI specification and written some tooling from scratch. sbctl is essentially a secure boot key manager.
