reproducible-central VS svntogit-community

It's pretty doable to create reproducible builds with gradle or maven: https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/jvm/

Also, releases on maven central typically include a sources.jar along with the binaries. It's required to provide that as well as javadoc to publish on maven central, I think. They also require jars to be signed and there are some manual checks before they activate your account to verify e.g. domain ownership and metadata of your project. It's not perfect but it's better than what many other packagemanagers do. It's actually a bit of a PITA to setup; I've wasted quite a bit of time getting some stuff published there just trying to figure out their convoluted processes and tools and error messages. This stuff is way too hard in it's current form.

Not all projects that use these build tools are fully reproducible but that is probably pretty easy to fix if people raise awareness of issues around this topic.

There's even a website that tracks reproducibility for some common libraries on maven central: https://github.com/jvm-repo-rebuild/reproducible-central#rea...

If you want to use artififacts produced straight from git hashes, tags, or branches, jitpack.io is pretty neat.

The author of the AUR package, removed it from the community repo and moved it to the AUR. And now it has another maintainer in the AUR.

The original maintainer still maintains 2185 packages [2].

Can't find an explanation why though.

In /usr/bin/ there is no cargo binary after new update. If I try call it in shell it says bash: cargo: command not found. I tried to understand git commit message - symlink was changed and rust-analyzer is deleted. So I need to add some environment export to my shell and install rust analyzer from now?

The package was updated 18 hours ago (https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/commit/a389cb3538aa3c73e2ca75227c151bbcdaf0bfa2) please check your mirrors!

Guess there is no easy way, well here is a command that will generate a nice list: curl -L https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-community/raw/packages/nerd-fonts/trunk/PKGBUILD 2> /dev/null | tr -d '\n' | grep -oP '(?<=pkgname=\().*?(?=\))' | sed -r 's/\s+/ /g'

About a week ago I began encountering some little bugs with a few application's icons in the system tray. I use Arch with GNOME Wayland and Papirus icons, and my only extension is gnome-shell-extension-appindicator. I believe it started after this update: gnome-shell-extension-appindicator (specific commit in question)
