Jan 1, 2026January 2026 (2026-01) delivered broad stabilization and modernization of the getsolus/packages ecosystem. Key features included extensive core package upgrades to latest stable releases across the repository, a modernization of the build toolchain, and broad OpenJDK 21 migrations to align with long-term platform support. Notable improvements include: libbluray upgraded to 1.4.0 with a Meson-based build, migration of multiple packages to OpenJDK 21 (including Sweethome3D compatibility), and removal of a Bazel dependency for python-tensorflow-estimator alongside related Bazel-based maintenance tasks. Safety rebuilds across critical media stacks (ffmpeg, VLC, mpv, GVFS, ffmpeg-4.4) improved runtime stability, while licensing/compliance reporting was enhanced with new notices. The work reduces maintenance risk, increases security and stability, and positions the repository for smoother onboarding of Java 21 and Meson/Bazel-based toolchains in upcoming releases.
