Month: 2025-09 – CachyOS-PKGBUILDS release cycle focused on unifying NTSYNC across Proton/Wine packaging and delivering a stable 10.0-20250906 release with performance improvements. 1) Key features delivered: - NTSYNC integration across Cachyos Proton/Wine packages (10.0-20250906). Consolidates NTSYNC integration and adds ntsync-common provisioning plus ntsync dependencies (including NTSYNC-MODULE) as optional dependencies where applicable. - Version bumps to 10.0-20250906 across proton-cachyos, wine-cachyos, wine-cachyos-opt, and proton-cachyos-slr; source tags and checksums updated. Minor build optimization (-C opt-level=3) included for performance. 2) Major bugs fixed: - No explicit bug fixes recorded in scope of this release; packaging validated and stable with the new NTSYNC integration. 3) Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved consistency and maintainability by centralizing NTSYNC handling across Proton/Wine packages; reduced future churn for dependency provisioning and module integration. Release-ready with updated tags/checksums; slight performance gains from build optimization. 4) Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Packaging automation, multi-repo coordination, versioning and dependency management, build optimizations, and checksum/source tag maintenance.
