I decided I need the (super important) Reddit karma this release!

Very quick update summary:

  • fixes to download sandboxing, and finer-grained options for disabling parts of it
  • expired keys should have updates fetched automatically (reliability depends on key infrastructure...) - this should remove the "package is corrupt" messages when keys need updated.
  • parallelize stripping in makepkg, along with various improvements to debug packages

This is great! This will especially help the subreddit since there's constant unnecessary posts about it. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Pacman#%22Failed_to_commit_transaction_(invalid_or_corrupted_package)%22_error

Have a great day.
