LIBGIT2 AND CGIT LAND IN TESTING — GIT INFRASTRUCTURE GETS MAJOR REFRESH

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux

Arch is staging a coordinated update to its git stack with libgit2 1.9.3 [ref:1] and matching cgit bumps [ref:2] [ref:3] hitting extra-testing, signaling incoming stability work across AUR and package infrastructure.

Three git-related packages are moving through testing simultaneously — libgit2 1.9.3 [1], cgit 1.3.1 [3], and cgit-aurweb 1.3.1 [2] — which means the foundation for AUR and repo browsing is about to shift. This is coordinated infrastructure work, not a casual patch bump. Inkscape 1.4.4 [4] also landed in testing, bringing the vector editor in line with upstream after what's likely several point releases of bug fixes and rendering improvements. Separately, Notion 4.0.5 [5] is already in stable — if you're tracking the proprietary note-taking tool, it's live.
