pacman-conf, testpkg are now properly localized + - when -F returns zero results, set a failing exit code + - improve wording for the error message when a package cannot be + removed due to dependencies + - fix segfaults and other incorrect behavior when using -Qip if + pacman was compiled without GPGME support + - makepkg: + - implement extendable source/signature verification routines + within libmakepkg (FS#49076) + - if pacman is in use, wait until it is available before + continuing (FS#28840) + - add support for lzip, lz4 and zst compressed packages + (FS#56676, FS#59081) + - add new checksum algorithm, b2sum + -
