mise and asusctl land in extra, tracexec hits 1.0

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Arch Linux · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

A slow state-file day in Arch: mise and asusctl finished their stay in extra-testing and landed in extra, while tracexec and qtpass stage their first stable releases for the wider repo.

move mise from extra-testing-x86_64 to extra-x86_64 archlinux/state

by George Hu

George Hu moved mise out of extra-testing into extra-x86_64, so the toolchain/version manager is now a normal install away. If you were pulling it from testing, the package no longer requires that repo.

move asusctl from extra-testing-x86_64 to extra-x86_64 archlinux/state

by George Hu

asusctl followed the same path out of extra-testing into extra-x86_64 in the same batch, making the ASUS laptop control utility available without enabling testing.

update tracexec to 1.0.0-1 in extra-testing-x86_64 archlinux/state

by George Hu

tracexec reached 1.0.0-1, its first stable release, and is staged in extra-testing-x86_64. Expect the usual soak before it crosses into extra.

update qtpass to 1.8.0-1 in extra-testing-x86_64 archlinux/state

by Christian Hesse

qtpass jumped to 1.8.0-1 in extra-testing-x86_64, a new upstream minor for the Qt pass frontend. It, too, is still in testing pending promotion.

update libblastrampoline to 5.16.0-1 in extra-x86_64 archlinux/state

by Antonio Rojas

In the long tail, libblastrampoline was bumped to 5.16.0-1 in extra-x86_64, with no other state-file movement of note.
