Five packages cleared testing and moved to the extra repository overnight, with Felix Yan handling the bulk of the promotions.

The Arch Linux package state repository processed five transitions from staging branches to stable x86_64 in the last 24 hours across 50 commits. Audacious moved from extra-testing-x86_64 to extra-x86_64 [1], signaling the audio player passed its validation cycle. Felix Yan promoted four additional packages in quick succession: mighttpd2 [2], the lightweight HTTP server; hoogle [3], the Haskell documentation search tool; and two Haskell dependencies, haskell-unixutils [4] and haskell-tasty-silver [5]. The coordinated staging clears suggest a completed testing window for the Haskell ecosystem subset, with all packages now available to the broader user base through the standard extra channel.
