YARA GRADUATES TO STABLE, THREE SECURITY TOOLS CLEAR TESTING
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux
Yara, the malware analysis engine, moved from testing to production overnight alongside two other security utilities that cleared QA.
Yara has graduated from extra-testing-x86_64 to extra-x86_64 [1], marking the first major security tool promotion in the cycle. Traefik and vifm followed the same path, both moving to stable [2][3], which means they're cleared for production workloads across the distribution. On the update front, ruby-sus bumped to 0.37.1-1 [4] in extra-any, and flawz landed 0.4.1-1 [5] on x86_64, both minor version increments that bring bug fixes and compatibility improvements. These are routine but necessary updates for developers relying on static analysis tooling in the Arch ecosystem.
