XFSPROGS PROMOTED TO CORE, INFRASTRUCTURE WELCOMES TWO NEW MAINTAINERS
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux
Arch's filesystem tooling moved to stable after testing validation, while the infrastructure team expands with two new technical leads.
Xfsprogs graduated from core-testing to core [1], signaling confidence in the filesystem utilities across the stable pipeline. The promotion comes as the infrastructure team itself grows: tippfehlr has been promoted to Package Maintainer after two months of consistent ecosystem contribution [2], and Antiz stepped into a full DevOps role [3]. On the application side, MuseScore hit 4.7.1-1 [4], Stalwart mail server reached 0.16.6-1 [5], and Ginkgo-HPC updated to 1.11.0-4 [6]. Japanese translation for archinstall is now at 100% [7], closing out another i18n milestone.
