• Path: arch/maintained/pdfalto
• Build failure during the 2026-07-07 “build all packages for x86_64” private-repo release pass. Needs libpng14 (an old libpng ABI version), not in this arch/ tree (external-dependency class, see memory/dbmodel-qt4.md). Not fixed as part of this pass.
• 2026-07-22: AUR flagged out-of-date since 2026-07-21 (caught by scripts/check_aur_feedback.sh); nvchecker confirmed 0.6.1 available upstream. Bumped pkgver 0.6.0 -> 0.6.1, updpkgsums, regenerated .SRCINFO – but still cannot verify the build locally: besides libpng14 above, makedepends=(cmake gcc12 git) also needs gcc12, which is likewise a third-party AUR package (maintainer severach), not in this tree or the private repo. Both block pacman’s all-or-nothing dependency install the same way qt5-webkit blocks trojita (see memory/trojita.md) – an environment gap, not something introduced by this version bump. The PKGBUILD/.SRCINFO change itself should be correct (same recipe as every other tarball-source version bump in this tree), just unverified by an actual compile.
• 2026-07-28: AUR flag confirmed again (FLAG ... since=2026-07-21, still unflagged/unresolved) and nvchecker (git-tag source, prefix v) confirmed 0.6.2 is real upstream. Bumped pkgver 0.6.1 -> 0.6.2, updpkgsums (only the tarball source’s md5sum moved, patch sum unchanged), regenerated .SRCINFO. Left the actual build/sign/publish to repo_release_changed.sh (part of the routine cycle’s changed-set release pass) rather than test-building by hand — still expect the libpng14/gcc12 external-dependency gap noted above to block it there too; check that run’s per-package log (repo_release_logs/maintained_pdfalto.log) for the actual failure mode before assuming anything changed.

2026-09-10: first successful build+publish – the libpng14/gcc12 gap is resolved

Found via a routine UPD sweep (nvchecker confirmed 0.6.3 real, GitHub tag verified directly). Before bumping, checked whether the long-standing libpng14/gcc12 blocker (2026-07-22/07-28 entries above) was still there – it wasn’t: pacman -Si gcc12 libpng14 now resolves both from archlinuxaba (this project’s own private repo), not the AUR gap they were before. Not tracked as arch/ submodules (no local PKGBUILD dir for either), just built/published at some point since 07-28 via some other path – worth finding out how/when if it matters later, but not chased here. Bumped pkgver 0.6.2 -> 0.6.3, updpkgsums, regenerated .SRCINFO, built and published cleanly on the first real attempt in this package’s history. pkgrel stays 1 (a genuine upstream version bump keeps pkgrel at its base value, no change needed).
