nvidia-580xx 580.196.07 lands with matching kernel patches; reboot hook goes multilingual
By RepoJournal · Filed · About CachyOS · Composed from the cited sources · methodology
CachyOS-PKGBUILDS moved the 580 driver series to 580.196.07 and kernel-patches followed with the 6.18, 7.2, and 7.3 patch sets, while the reboot-required hook picked up gettext so its popup can speak Russian.
nvidia-580xx: bump version to 580.196.07 (#2052) CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
The 580 series moves from its previous point release to 580.196.07 in CachyOS-PKGBUILDS. Kernel-patches already carries matching nvidia-580xx patch sets for 6.18, 7.2, and 7.3, so the driver and the kernel patches land as one thread rather than a driver bump against unpatched trees.
7.3: Add nvidia-580xx patches CachyOS/kernel-patches
Separate commits add nvidia-580xx patches to the 6.18, 7.2, and 7.3 kernel lines, the piece that lets the bumped driver stay usable on those kernels. The patch work is split per kernel branch, so a tree only picks up what it needs.
reboot-required: Translate the notification with gettext (#22) CachyOS/cachyos-hooks
"The 'Reboot recommended!' popup was English-only," the commit says; its strings now go through bash's $"..." translation under the text domain cachyos-reboot-required, with Russian as the first catalog. Language is read from the environment pacman runs in, and languages without a translation keep the English text. Packaging gains gettext in makedepends and installs the catalogs as cachyos-rebo...
fix(lockfile): Fix cross user lockfile handling (#841) CachyOS/cachy-update
The lock is now acquired through a read-only file descriptor, which is what a second user needs to hold a lockfile another user created; a touch call creates the file up front since acquisition no longer does. Systems that still run the old hook will keep failing on the shared lock until they update.
Cachy-Update: Update to v4.4.5 (#2051) CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS
Cachy-Update in CachyOS-PKGBUILDS moves to v4.4.5, the packaging side of the cachy-update work above. On the remaining long tail: automated bumps carry agent-browser to 0.39.3 and python311 to 3.11.18, the New-Cli-Installer reworks bootloader handling and step definitions, and the uptime bot reports the Vietnam and South Korea (KRFOSS 5) mirrors up in 1213 ms and 483 ms.
