O meu repositório de software para Arch Linux e distribuições compatíveis, Userrepository, levou umas alterações cosméticas para melhorar aquele aspeto cru normal de um open dir. Agora, quem acede a ele através do browser vai ver um template HTML todo catita com a listagem dos pacotes e uma link para o blog do repositório. Esta alteração não tem qualquer impacto na forma como instalas os pacotes a partir de lá. Eles continuam à distância de um pacman -Syu como estavam anteriormente....

Since the 24th of January, the date of the last blog post, I’ve added a shitload of new packages to userrepository.eu.

The focus on new packages will probably be scientific tools and maybe a kernel. With that, I’ll probably have to increase the full build frequency from 8h to at least 9 hours....

Lately, I’ve been having some problems when building picom-ibhagwan-git and picom-tryone-git. The first one would build OK, but not the second one. After a bit of debugging, I found out that it was a problem related to the way makepkg and git handle the cache when building these forks. This would also happen when adding the picom-git package: it would build because it’s the first package in alphabetical order and Jarvis builds the packages that way, but not the other two....

It took me a while to update you about the latest changes to my Arch and Arch-compatible Linux distributions repository. But first, let me apologize for the delay: work, personal life and, for about 3 weeks now, a horrible back pain (that just doesn’t stop, even with an handful of medication) have kept me from doing this in the time frame I expected. First on the “agenda”, I experimented with increasing the zstd compression level for the packages like I said I would do in my last post about the repository....
