February 2026 (getsolus/packages) – Delivered key features and stability improvements with a strong focus on user experience, packaging reliability, and build/release discipline. Key features delivered: - Feishin multimedia audio enhancements: updated assets (font/icon) and packaging to v1.4.2, enabling richer multimedia experiences for Feishin users. Commit: ab08a61fa600863129c0c7160bd7112764b3a69a. - Feishin packaging and release maintenance: ongoing updates across versions 1.4.2 → 1.6.0, including asset updates, new source links, release history, and dependency/build config improvements. Commits include v1.5.0 (289f5916a0dd063c4d8ddbee72bbe8a375fb6690), ent update (466f4b45aad32165e74be0cd33d047df455b1c25), and v1.6.0 (984391c23ed6ab30f414938d8266b6bb1cc16bcc). Major bugs fixed: - Prevent unintended uninstallation of network-manager by Calamares scripts: removed rundep from network-manager-livecd to fix reverse-dependency misinterpretation by eopkg, reducing risk of network-manager removal. Commit: 6624b26903f8271eee42d64c98417b35da07c5ef. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved user experience and stability for Feishin features, with up-to-date assets and clearer release history. - Safer LiveCD lifecycle management, ensuring essential services like network-manager remain installed during Calamares operations. - Strengthened packaging discipline across multiple Feishin versions and related components, enabling faster, more reliable builds and releases. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Packaging automation and version management across multiple releases (Feishin 1.4.2–1.6.0). - Dependency/build config handling and source-link/release history curation. - Cross-repo coordination (Feishin and ent updates) and collaboration through release notes.
