cachyos-drm-awaiter gets a longer timeout, a new marker, and a pkgver bump

By RepoJournal · Filed · About CachyOS · Composed from the cited sources · methodology

The day belongs to one package: cachyos-drm-awaiter gained a disable marker for debugging, a raised job timeout, and a version bump, while the AUR-derived tree took routine upstream refreshes and the uptime bot kept the mirror map green.

cachyos-drm-awaiter: Add kernel parameter as marker for disabling CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS

by Vasiliy Stelmachenok

The PKGBUILD now accepts a kernel parameter that marks the awaiter as disabled, which the commit says is useful for debugging. That gives you a supported way to turn the waiter off at boot instead of editing the unit by hand.

cachyos-drm-awaiter: Increase job timeout even more CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS

by Vasiliy Stelmachenok

The job timeout went up again; the commit message gives the reason plainly: "amdgpu takes too long to fully initialize". It is the second timeout increase in play today, so the value is being chased upward rather than pinned to a stable budget.

cachyos-drm-awaiter: Bump new pkgver CachyOS/CachyOS-PKGBUILDS

by Vasiliy Stelmachenok

A pkgver bump for the same package, so the marker and timeout changes reach users through the normal version path.

dotnet-core-bin: update to 10.0.14.sdk403 CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived

by github-actions

dotnet-core-bin moved from 10.0.9.sdk301 to 10.0.14.sdk403 with regenerated .SRCINFO and refreshed checksums. The automated build notes makepkg --verifysource returned false for the run, so verification was not clean at update time.

gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock: use tag instead of commit (#1247) CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived

by Ammar Hossain

gnome-shell-extension-dash-to-dock now tracks a tag instead of a raw commit, so the package's version line follows the extension's own releases rather than a pinned hash. Expect the .SRCINFO pkgver to change shape on the next update.

waydroid-image: update to 20.0.20261022 CachyOS/cachyos-aur-derived

by github-actions

Quiet elsewhere: waydroid-image advanced to 20.0.20261022, waterfox-bin had its nvchecker configuration corrected in two follow-up commits, and the statuspage bot recorded the Vietnam and South Korea (KRFOSS 5) mirrors answering 200.
