FAKEROOT AND APACHE GRADUATE FROM TESTING

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

Five core and extra packages moved out of testing repos overnight, with fakeroot hitting stable across all architectures.

Fakeroot shipped from core-testing to core-x86_64 [1], marking the completion of testing for a critical build dependency that touches nearly every compiled package in the distro. Apache followed the same path from extra-testing to extra-x86_64 [2], along with rsync [3], both now safe for production systems. The multilib variant lib32-fakeroot also graduated to stable [4], ensuring 32-bit builds have the same stable foundation. Lprint got a minor bump to 1.4.0-1 in extra-x86_64 [5], likely carrying fixes from upstream. All five moves suggest the testing cycle completed without friction, which means your next full system upgrade should land cleanly.
