LINUX KERNEL MOVES TO STABLE, VARNISH REMOVED FROM EXTRA
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux · Composed from the cited sources · methodology
The latest kernel is out of testing and into production repositories, while the package roster gets pruned and vinyl-cache graduates from the testing pipeline.
The linux kernel package moved from core-testing-x86_64 to core-x86_64 [1], signaling it's ready for widespread deployment. In parallel, varnish has been removed entirely from extra-x86_64 [2], likely due to maintenance burden or upstream changes. The vinyl-cache package successfully graduated from extra-testing-x86_64 to extra-x86_64 [3], completing its testing cycle. GNOME documentation saw a routine bump to version 50.2-1 in extra-any [4]. Meanwhile, weston received a patch update to 15.0.1-3 in extra-testing-x86_64 [5], still undergoing validation before promotion.
