Together with @npub1ugf…hya8 @npub1yen…52qm, @npub1kqd…7640 and @npub1wqp…89jn I have been working on the #ALPM and #VOA projects in 2024 and 2025.
This #SovereignTechFund ( @npub1yng…nhrk ) funded work has recently come to a close.
You can read all about what was achieved and plans for future work on the #ArchLinux #devblog: https://devblog.archlinux.page/2026/a-year-of-work-on-the-alpm-project/

right!
Cory Doctorow a while back was elaborating on his approach to optimism/pessimism vs. hope which is somewhat similar.
What stuck with me there was that he considered both optimism/pessimism as two sides of the same coin of not engaging with the actual future/idea.
I like hope as replacement 😅

Yesterday we released another set of updates for the #ALPM crates. 🦀
This also includes additional and updated specifications 📜
The alpm-types crate in version 0.7.0 now has better handling for different types of versions. 📚
This comes in handy in file formats and environments where version handling should be more strict/specific.

I know all the tools (I package them for Arch Linux). 😊
I unfortunately can't use them yet due to some few blockers (our package tooling and my mail client and password management is heavily dependent on gpg sadly). 🥹

technically, you are now no longer relying on gpg for signatures but still use #OpenPGP.
Congrats on freeing yourself from it 🥳
