BORE and aufs land for kernel 7.3 as CachyOS packaging rolls forward

Piotr Gorski added aufs and the BORE scheduler to the 7.3 kernel patch set while bumping the 7.2 aufs patch, and CachyOS's packaging repos picked up a wave of upstream syncs.

CachyOS's kernel-patches tree gained two patches for the 7.3 series: aufs [1] and BORE [2]. The 7.2 aufs patch was updated in the same window [3], which keeps both kernel series carrying the overlay filesystem and the BORE scheduler for anyone running mainline CachyOS kernels. If your config depends on aufs mounts or BORE for desktop responsiveness, those are the packages to watch when the corresponding builds land.

On the packaging side, cachyos-aur-derived shipped a cluster of upstream syncs and bumps. SwayFX picked up bumped scenefx and wlroots dependencies [4], sunshine was synced to its current build [5], proton-mail-bin moved to a newer Electron [6], and apparmor.d was synced [7]. A separate fix corrected a path in fluxer-canary [8]. These are ordinary AUR-derived maintenance commits, but each one changes a dependency edge that a rebuild can trip over.

copr-linux-cachyos bumped scx-tools-git's version and tag [9], which is the sched-ext userspace tooling used alongside the BORE family of schedulers. Fedora users pulling from that COPR will see the new tag on their next update.

The statuspage bot continued its scheduled uptime commits, including graph and summary refreshes [10][11][12] and checks confirming the China mirrors at USTC and Nanjing are up, both returning 200 [13][14].
