BUILDBTW API SHIPS WITH EXPANDED BUILD LIST ENDPOINT

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux

Arch's build system just got smarter—the new list-builds API merges after weeks of refinement, bringing pagination controls and richer build metadata to the pipeline.

The buildbtw project landed a major API expansion [1] that adds max_results pagination to the build list endpoint [2] and extends the api::Build struct with additional fields [3], giving downstream tooling better control over query results and access to more granular build information. The merge also cleaned up a stale RUSTSEC advisory from the ignore list [5] and fixed lint failures in release mode [4], keeping the codebase audit-clean as the API surface grows. On the package side, linux-hardened pushed a new 7.0.6 kernel with hardened patches [6], libxml++-5.0 bumped to 5.6.1-1 [7], and radicle hit 1.8.0 [8]—all standard maintenance. These are shipping cleanly across multilib and testing repos.
