Worked on the felixonmars/archriscv-packages repository to enhance cross-architecture package stability and reliability. Focused on upgrading Protobuf packaging and improving Python package integration, while maintaining compatibility with Bazel on RISC-V systems. Addressed test instability by refining patch application and ensuring correct library paths for Paraview-Catalyst builds, which improved test reproducibility. Tackled CI flakiness by blacklisting problematic packages in QEMU-user environments to resolve valgrind-related failures. Utilized C++, Python, and shell scripting to implement these solutions, emphasizing robust build systems and package management. The work resulted in more reliable multi-architecture builds and streamlined testing workflows across diverse system architectures.
April 2026 — felixonmars/archriscv-packages: Delivered cross-architecture packaging improvements and stability enhancements. Key outcomes include a cross-architecture Protobuf packaging upgrade to 34.1-1 with a Python package bump from 6 to 7, plus a patch refresh (new sha512), and preservation of a Bazel workaround for RISC-V compatibility. In Paraview-Catalyst, fixed the char-signed-test.patch application for 2.0.0-4 and ensured tests run against the newly built libcatalyst with the correct LD_LIBRARY_PATH, improving test reliability. Overall impact includes more reliable multi-arch package builds, reduced CI/test failures, and improved maintainability across architectures.
