GIT CLEARS TESTING, CORE LIBS GRADUATE TO STABLE

Git shipped out of extra-testing after validation [ref:2], while core and multilib attribute packages follow the same promotion path, signaling a quiet but steady stream of validated updates across the distribution.

Three foundational packages graduated from testing to stable repositories overnight: git moves from extra-testing to extra [1], attr transitions from core-testing to core [2], and both lib32-attr and lib32-acl advance from multilib-testing to multilib [3][4], suggesting the testing cycle validation completed without incident. On the translation front, archinstall landed a complete Norwegian Bokmål localization covering all 375 installer strings [5][6], with Ukrainian translations receiving simultaneous improvements for Plymouth bootloader prompts [7]. The installer's dependency chain tightened with ruff bumping to v0.15.20 across both direct and pre-commit hook dependencies [8][9], a patch-level update with no breaking changes. Infrastructure hardened mailman against bot traffic by blocking user agents and AWS Singapore netspace [10], while simultaneously updating list configurations for newer mailman versions [11]. Nvidia's nsight-compute also updated to 2026.2.1.5-1 in extra [12], though this lands outside the critical path for most systems.
