Update requests for packages imported from Arch Linux

Please fix official manjaro zerotier-one v 1.5.0-1…
there is a bug that causes it to crash when using old (still-very-used) intel cpus (I’ve already ran into the issue and fortunately fixed by compiling the dev branch of their git repo).

Arch had to repair their package also… see FS#68177 of bugs.archlinux

however Manjaro still has the broken package.

As far as I can see, Manjaro does not maintain zerotier-one. But you could be hit by the “Manjaro branches issue”: Manjaro - Fresh & Stable

gPodder (Podcast Client) got updated to 3.10.17.
Link Here To GitHub Releases
Current Version from the official repositories is 3.10.16

gpodder is imported from Arch, not built by Manjaro. I flagged it out of date for you.

Ohh. My bad. Still very new to Manjaro and Linux in general. Will make sure to double check where it’s built from and act on that accordingly. Thank you!

discord just updated to .13 version, needs an update to stable branch ASAP, otherwise unusable without root config file editing or manually overwriting from a new tarball

Thank you very much for the quick intervention.

You’re welcome. We may not continue to provide the overlay, however. Arch updated the Discord wiki page today suggesting a workaround. Also, Discord is available as a Flatpak.

Suggesting this workaround would be ridiculous, it it like saying “if we are slacking off a bit too much, just do this and you will be fine meanwhile.” It looks more like an excuse for not putting commitment in the maintenance of the package than anything else, a quick answer for eventual complains. Hopefully I am wrong on this one.

Sure, but if it is on the official repositories of the distro, people will expect the distro to do the maintenance properly.

I have ran into an issue with Rapid Photo Downloader being unable to scan SD cards. I reported the issue to the RPD team here: Bug #1907943 “Device scan failed with pymediainfo 5.02” : Bugs : Rapid Photo Downloader

The dev informed me that it is due to the current version of pymediainfo and suggested I report to Manjaro devs that pymediainfo be updated to 5.0.3 as soon as possible.

Its already in the repos, on all branches but Stable…
Manjaro - Branch Compare

kimageannotator (now available 0.4.0-1)
maintainer: Antonio Rojas arojas@archlinux.org
This creates problems when updating ksnip (AUR (en) - ksnip)
It would be nice to add ksnip to official packages and update in sync with the kimageannotator, as the problem is recurrent. But probably then will have to collect both packages instead of imports, because ksnip not looking at the popularity is only in AUR.

pipewire ( now available 0.3.18-1)
maintainer: Jan Alexander Steffens heftig@archlinux.org

That version is in Unstable and Testing already.

Please check current package status before posting/requesting:

Something that may concern users that are using Vivaldi, there has been a security update for Stable concerning some 10+ Chromium vulnerabilities, so I guess the package could be moved from unstable to the stable (& testing) branch as fast track.

You can not always fast-track browsers. Especially not when they are based on Chromium. Maybe checkout brave.

Last time I checked it’s an already compiled binary self-contained in /opt with all its dependencies there , overwriting the previous version and gives no problems at all. (pkgbuild just extracts the 3 folders of the .deb (or .rpm) and gives access rights to the bin))

I mean one can download and install the new version from Arch already (or Manjaro’s unstable pool) Arch Linux - vivaldi 3.5.2115.87-1 (x86_64) and be perfectly fine, just mentioning it for the convenience of Manjaro Stable users.

With Vivaldi we can, it’s a binary source.

It could. I’ll go ahead and do it now.
