Feb 1, 2025February 2025: Delivered targeted packaging, stability, and compatibility improvements for CachyOS-PKGBUILDS, strengthening release readiness and hardware support across primary components. Key work included scx-scheds: system bpftool usage, ThinLTO compilation, 1.0.9-1 release, a stability-focused performance revert, and a pkgrel bump; kwin upgrades adding tearing and HDR support with Arch synchronization and patch fixes; and the introduction of lib32-gamescope-plus as a dependency for cachyos-handheld with a regenerated SRCINFO to ensure reproducible builds. Additional momentum came from nvidia-utils with 6.14 kernel module build support and refined source handling, and fixes to lenovolegionlinux-dkms 6.13 builds. Broader updates encompassed zlib-ng, power-profiles-daemon, and nodejs ICU rebuilds, all contributing to a cohesive, Arch-aligned packaging baseline. Overall impact: improved stability and performance, expanded hardware compatibility (kernel modules, NVIDIA patches), and a streamlined, reproducible build process that reduces release risk and accelerates upcoming milestones.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025: Delivered key enhancements for CachyOS-PKGBUILDS, focusing on graphics stack reliability, DKMS ecosystem integration, and packaging improvements. Major accomplishments include upgrading Mesa to 24.3.3 with NVIDIA framebuffer compatibility patches for kernel 6.13 and removal of the obsolete VRAM fix; integrating ADIOS as a DKMS module and updating to versions 0.7.0–0.9.3 with install script cleanup; refining packaging metadata (cachyos-mirrorlist .SRCINFO updates and relaxed conflict handling) to improve build stability; and implementing a DNS behavior fix to avoid enabling systemd-resolved automatically during upgrades, enabling it only on initial install. These changes collectively improve hardware compatibility, reduce maintenance burden, streamline upgrades, and enhance user experience.
