NSS LANDS IN TESTING WITH 32-BIT COMPANION, GLIB2 AND BUF FOLLOW

Mozilla's NSS cryptography library hit both testing repos [ref:3] [ref:4], signaling the foundation crew is confident enough to push it toward stable.
NSS 3.126-1 is now in core-testing and multilib-testing [1] [2], which means the security toolchain gets a refresh before the next major stable push. GNOME unstable got two updates overnight: glib2 bumped to 2.89.2-1 [3] and ministream advanced to 0.99.1-1 [4], keeping the desktop stack current with upstream development. Protocol buffer tooling also shipped, with buf 1.72.0-1 landing in extra [5], likely carrying bug fixes and performance work for developers grinding through protobuf codegen. The NSS testing run is the lead story here - it's the prerequisite for anything that depends on crypto, so watch for regression reports over the next few days.
Action items
- → Monitor NSS 3.126-1 in core-testing for regressions before stable promotion archlinux/svntogit-packages [monitor]
- → Update buf to 1.72.0-1 in production if you're on active protobuf development archlinux/svntogit-community [plan]
- → Track GNOME unstable updates if you're on the bleeding edge archlinux/svntogit-packages [monitor]
