Delivered GridTracker2 Electron packaging in nixpkgs, establishing a multi-platform packaging workflow and enabling automated builds for GridTracker2.

May 2025 focused on stabilizing riscv64 packaging in felixonmars/archriscv-packages by applying a Glibc patch to fix a build issue. Updated PKGBUILD to apply the patch, adjusted checksums and patch URL to ensure reproducible builds. The work was tracked in commit a5bde1dedbb5f7087c834dcbf65e9f7fdcd2742a with message 'updpatch: glibc 2.41+r48+g5cb575ca9a3d-1'.

April 2025 monthly summary for felixonmars/archriscv-packages focused on delivering RISC-V-first reliability and cross-arch packaging improvements. Key work included memory-synchronization patches for ROCm components on RISC-V, build-compat patches for Arrow and Brook, and calibre packaging updates to align with newer dependencies. These efforts expand RISC-V support, reduce build failures, and improve packaging resilience, enabling more robust ROCm workloads and smoother Arch Linux packaging workflows.

March 2025 highlights for felixonmars/archriscv-packages focused on delivering cross-architecture support, updating toolchains, and sustaining the RISCV build ecosystem. Key outcomes included a working Consul RISCV64 build, updated JetBrains IDEs to the 2024.3.x line, and ongoing maintenance across multiple RISCV packages (Xournal++, Qt6 WebEngine, Protobuf, Plumber, Kodi, Spotifyd) plus drone-runner-docker patches. The work improved deployment readiness on RISCV, reduced manual patch churn, and reinforced CI reliability for packaging pipelines.

February 2025: Delivered cross-architecture RISC-V packaging and tooling improvements for felixonmars/archriscv-packages. Expanded RISC-V support across IDEs (IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition and PyCharm Community Edition) and Dart tooling, updated core dependencies (Magma, Consul), and implemented build tooling cleanup to improve reliability and platform reach.

During 2025-01, felixonmars/archriscv-packages delivered meaningful patch management and packaging improvements, expanding coverage for new software while tightening security and maintenance practices. Key actions included adding patches for four new packages, updating patches across a broad set of existing packages, and refining the maintenance workflow to reduce debt and risk.

December 2024 monthly summary for felixonmars/archriscv-packages: Focused on stabilizing cross-architecture packaging for RISC-V and improving build reliability. Delivered a targeted fix to fetch mermaid-cli from the correct npm registry location under mermaid-js scope, and completed a comprehensive RISC-V packaging/build-system overhaul that removes obsolete patches, updates checksums, adds patches, builds dependencies, and tightens configuration for reliable cross-architecture builds. The effort also expanded the repository with new packages and dependency updates to keep the ArchRISC-V ecosystem current. These changes reduce build failures, accelerate release cycles, and improve maintainability through clearer patch provenance and automation.

In 2024-11, delivered cross-RISCV packaging improvements and stability fixes across felixonmars/archriscv-packages, focusing on build reliability, reproducibility, and performance. Key features included removing Electron dependencies for Vaultwarden-web, enhancing reproducibility for OpenPGP CA, and enabling native-compile optimizations for Proxmark3. Major bugs fixed included Mongo-C-Driver RISCV stability fixes, LIBUNICODE SIMD disablement for compatibility, AppArmor test timeout fixes, and various patch cleanups (Emscripten, GPX-Viewer, Python-toolz). The work reduced CI noise, improved deployment reliability on RISCV targets, and demonstrated strong patch-management, cross-architecture packaging, and build-system expertise (CFLAGS, node-gyp, cargo --locked, cmake, makedepends).
