OIL REMOVED FROM EXTRA AS NVIDIA-OPEN, LINUX-ZEN MOVE TO TESTING

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux

Arch purged the oil package from extra-x86_64 while three major kernel and driver updates advance through the staging pipeline.

The packaging team removed oil [1] from the extra repository, cleaning up a dependency that's seen limited adoption. Meanwhile, three significant updates are graduating from staging to testing: nvidia-open [3] continues its journey toward stable, linux-zen [5] is now available for testing, and netfilter-fullconenat [4] moved up as well. Firefox Developer Edition bumped to 151.0b5-1 [2] in the same window. For systems running nvidia hardware or zen kernels, these testing packages are ready to validate before the stable push.
