In August 2025, delivered RISC-V architecture compatibility patches for two Arch Linux packages in felixonmars/archriscv-packages, enabling riscv64 builds and extending hardware support. Updated ncspot to 1.3.0-1 and fceux to 2.6.6 with RISC-V-ready build configurations. Implemented build-system improvements (makedepends, CFLAGS tweaks, and a minimum CMake policy) to ensure robust cross-compile on riscv64. Addressed x265 API changes and introduced a RISC-V-specific timestamp patch to fix time retrieval. All changes were captured via two focused updpatch commits, providing clear traceability. This work expands platform coverage, reduces manual patch maintenance, and supports broader deployment scenarios for media players and emulators on RISC-V.

June 2025: Focused on improving cross-architecture packaging reliability and test stability for the archriscv-packages repository. Delivered cross-architecture build robustness for Mate-Calc by configuring ACLOCAL_FLAGS in the prepare step, stabilizing autoconf macro discovery during package version updates. Fixed riscv64 test noise by patching certbot-dns-google to ignore UserWarning alongside DeprecationWarning in pytest, resulting in cleaner test runs. These changes reduced CI noise, accelerated feedback, and strengthened multi-arch release readiness; committed changes enable smoother future updates and wider platform support.
