libreoffice - new versioning download frequency - multiple updates per-week?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Devs,

With the advent of the new version scheme for libreoffice, there is a dramatic increase in the frequency of package updates lately, sometimes a new version is packaged daily or every other day, e.g.

[2024-08-26T19:24:24-0500] [ALPM] upgraded libreoffice-still (24.2.5-1 -> 24.2.5-2) [2024-09-02T23:01:03-0500] [ALPM] upgraded libreoffice-still (24.2.5-2 -> 24.2.5-3) [2024-09-07T01:54:56-0500] [ALPM] upgraded libreoffice-still (24.2.5-3 -> 24.2.6-1) [2024-09-09T16:53:22-0500] [ALPM] upgraded libreoffice-still (24.2.6-1 -> 24.2.6-2) [2024-09-10T18:48:31-0500] [ALPM] upgraded libreoffice-still (24.2.6-2 -> 24.2.6-3)

Granted with gcc changes, etc.. many rebuilds may be needed as those changes are incorporated, and it may just be temporary, but libreoffice is a 150M+ package. I can imagine that adds up from a bandwidth standpoint for Arch and it's mirrors.

Is the libreoffice new package frequency just a temporary thing, or is this here to stay?

More a curiosity than anything else. I can look back nearly a decade in the pacman.log and it wasn't uncommon to have months when there was no libreoffice update, and rarely 3 or more a month.
