Jun 1, 2026June 2026: Delivered a focused package-maintenance sprint that improves compliance, security, and downstream stability while modernizing the build toolchain for QT6-era tooling. Key outcomes include license/build hygiene, Aquamarine compatibility, security patches, jsoncpp-driven downstream rebuilds, and build-toolchain readiness across iVerilog, Draco/QGIS, and major UI/tooling upgrades.

May 1, 2026May 2026 recap for getsolus/packages: delivered a broad set of updates across key components, with a focus on stability, security, and cross-repo compatibility. Notable features include Hyprutils updates (v0.13.0 to fix argv cleanup on execvp failure, followed by v0.13.1 with path-parameter overloads), Hyprtoolkit v0.5.4, and Hyprland v0.55.0 introducing Lua-based configs. To ensure system-wide stability, hyprutils-dependent packages were rebuilt across 11 components (xdg-desktop-portal-hyprland, hyprland-guiutils, hypridle, hyprlock, hyprgraphics, hyprpaper, hyprwire, hyprland, aquamarine, hyprlauncher, hyprlang). Other major feature updates covered qbittorrent v5.2.0, Diffoscope v318 (Standards-Version 4.7.4), UnRAR v7.2.6, and Vorta v0.11.4. Security and stability improvements were driven by Thermald v2.15.11 CVE fixes and a Go 1.26.3 upgrade addressing multiple CVEs, along with XDG Desktop Portal Hyprland v1.3.12 fixes and related libdvdnav/libdvdread/libdvdcss updates (including a new vol-id retrieval API and Meson migration). The month also encompassed a broad set of library/tooling upgrades to improve reliability and maintainability across the ecosystem.

Oct 1, 2025In Oct 2025, the getsolus/packages repository saw a broad, business-focused upgrade of dependencies and hardening of the build surface across core tooling, site tooling, and peripherals. Key feature deliveries include version bumps for Just, Kitty, Lagrange, Hugo, Tealdeer, and the KiCad ecosystem (core and submodules) to current stable releases, plus upgrades to Mutt, OpenRCT2, Octave, Thermald, Fossil, and a wide core-packages refresh (hwdata, hyprutils, hyprgraphics, luanti, gimp, chezmoi, babl). Hugo site tooling was modernized with updates to 0.151.1 and 0.151.2 to keep site tooling current. Maintenance rebuilds for Hypr-related packages were executed after dependency updates to ensure reliability across aquamarine, hypridle, hyprland and related portals. A broad set of miscellaneous CLI tools and libraries were updated to final releases to improve security, performance, and downstream compatibility. The work strengthens packaging hygiene, downstream interoperability, and engineering velocity, with traceable commits per feature across multiple modules.

Aug 1, 2025August 2025 (2025-08) focused on comprehensive dependency modernization within the getsolus/packages repository, delivering a broad set of version upgrades to keep downstream systems secure, perform better, and aligned with upstream projects. Highlights include major upgrades across core tools and system utilities (e.g., KiCad ecosystem to v9.0.4 suite, Vim v9.1.1666, Nginx 1.29.1, Hugo 0.149.0, Doctl 1.139.0 and 1.141.0, Tailscale 1.86.2, Nano 8.6, Verilator 5.040, among others) and coordinated updates across 40+ packages, each with explicit commit references for traceability. A notable exception is the NFC ETL feature which added monitoring to improve observability and reliability of data pipelines. Major bugs fixed: None explicitly logged in this month; however, vulnerability and stability improvements were achieved via the dependency upgrades and the added NFC ETL monitoring patch. Overall impact and accomplishments: Strengthened security posture, performance, and compatibility with upstream tooling; reduced technical debt through standardized upgrade patterns; improved build/release consistency and traceability across the repository, enabling downstream teams to rely on current components. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Dependency/version management, release engineering, cross-repo coordination, commit-level traceability, observability enhancements, and practical familiarity with a broad set of tools (KiCad, Nginx, Vim, Doctl, Tailscale, Hyprutils, Aquamarine, Verilator, etc.).
