pkgconf has been promoted from core-testing to core, and asusctl and sing-geosite-rule-set have graduated from extra-testing to stable repositories.

The Arch Linux state repo reflects several package promotions. pkgconf moved from core-testing-x86_64 to core-x86_64 [1], meaning it is now part of the stable core repository, available to all users. asusctl moved from extra-testing-x86_64 to extra-x86_64 [2], and sing-geosite-rule-set from extra-testing-any to extra-any [3], both now in stable extra. Additionally, python-sqlparse updated to 0.6.0-1 in extra-any [4]. These moves follow the standard testing pipeline, so users on stable branches now receive these versions.

On the infrastructure side, a new archmanweb deployment adds uwsgi harakiri for stale workers [5]. This is a developing change; uwsgi's harakiri timeout will kill workers that exceed a configured time, preventing stale workers from hanging and blocking requests. The exact timeout value is not specified.

In key management, heftig removed his old Yubikey and reorganized his pubkeys [6], with the merge of the 'heftig-keys' branch . This means that signatures from the old key should no longer be trusted; any verification relying on that key needs updating.
