PROCPS-NG GRADUATES TO CORE AS KEYRING UPDATE LANDS IN TESTING
By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux
Process utilities hit stable while Arch's trust infrastructure queues for validation.
Procps-ng has moved from core-testing to core-x86_64 [1], marking the graduation of a critical system package after testing phase completion. This clears the way for downstream packages that depend on stable process management tooling. In parallel, archlinux-keyring 20260707.1-1 is now staged in core-testing [2], the keyring update that handles package signing verification across the entire distribution. The move suggests Arch's maintainers are confident in the new key material and expect it to hit stable within hours. Python-google-auth 2.55.2-1 landed in extra-any [3], addressing credential handling for cloud-dependent packages. On the hardware-specific side, python-pytables graduated from testing to extra-x86_64 [4], while VS Code updated to 1.17.15-1 in extra-x86_64 [5].
