Hi all,
I have finally had enough time to finish the privsep work. We now download
all files using a dedicated user. This is ready to be committed (following
any final review) [1]. Note that this currently only separates downloads -
more work is needed for (e.g.) package verification to also occur in a
separate process.
I consider this marking the milestone for the next package release. I have
started a tracker for what is needed to be addressed before the release [2].
There are more things that need added to the list... It just represents my
bare minimum before release.
Realistically, given my upcoming commitments, I think the release will
happen close to the end of the year.
I have created and marked merge requests for everything I'd like to get into
7.0.0.
If there's anything else that needs to be looked at, I have a little available
bandwidth at the moment for pacman-related things.
I have a small amount of time too... I pulled the last 6.0 translation
snapshot, so I'll upload the new strings so a start can be made (noting
that more strings will come before release).
MR !96 and !102 from Morgan could possibly be added as targets for the
next release - reviewing those would be helpful (I had a very quick once
over so far).
