 ====== PLD Linux Distribution ======
 PLD is a free, RPM-based Linux distribution, created in 1998, aimed at the more advanced users and administrators, who accept the tradeoffs of using a system, that might require manual tweaking in exchange for much flexibility. Simultaneous availability for a wide variety of architectures and non-conservative approach to RPM usage provides our users with a consistent environment on almost all available architectures. More details are available in the [[:About|about]] section.
 ===== News =====
+==== 9th February 2025: Sequoia OpenPGP enabled in rpm 4.20 ====
+rpm 4.20 dropped the venerable rpmpgp custom library in favor of rpm-sequoia (https://sequoia-pgp.org/). The side effect is that sequoia is much stricter in validating signatures and fail if the format is non-conformat to the standard.
+If you see errors like the below when doing any rpm operations please read the [[packages/rpm|RPM]] package page.
+  error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h#    1292
+  Header DSA signature: BAD (header tag 267: invalid OpenPGP signature: Parsing an OpenPGP packet:
+    Failed to parse Signature Packet
+          because: Signature appears to be created by a non-conformant OpenPGP implementation, see <https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/issues/2351>.
+                because: Malformed MPI: leading bit is not set: expected bit 8 to be set in   100011 (23))
+                Header SHA1 digest: OK
+  error: Verifying a signature, but no certificate was provided:
+    Signature fcf4 created at Thu Aug 16 07:33:10 2018 invalid: signature is not alive
+          because: Expired on 2018-09-15T07:33:10Z
+  error: rpmdbNextIterator: skipping h#     881
+  Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID 61ac3fd4: BAD

+New report:
+  * https://srcbuilder.pld-linux.org/~pldth/qa.php?q=main-vuln
+Matching main ftp archive against https://osv.dev/ database, updated daily.
+Note: this is informational only as it isn't capable of testing if PLD Linux package contains a fix or not.
+==== 15th June 2021: PLD/Linux IRC channel moved to Libera Chat ====
+After the recent events and [[https://www.devever.net/~hl/freenode_suicide|freenode changes]], PLD [[irc://irc.libera.chat|IRC]] channel has been moved to [[https://libera.chat/|Libera Chat]].

+It will not be updated anymore.
+If you are still running such system and want to upgrade,
+then recommended upgrade path is to upgrade to Th/2020 snapshot
+and then to Th current version.
+==== 15th March 2021: PLD/Linux Th now with rpm 4.16 ====
+rpm 4.16 is now the default package manager in [[th|PLD/Linux Th]].

+==== 13th March 2021: PLD/Linux Ac builders stopped ====
+The [[ac|PLD/Linux Ac]] builders have been stopped.
+They have been offline due to various reasons anyway, this just stops the email spam to maintainers.
+==== 14th February 2021: glibc package update issues ====
+Updating glibc package on multilib systems may fail due to packaging and dependency changes.
+The common failure scenario is shown below.
+<code>
+poldek:/all-avail> upgrade glibc*
+packages read
+Processing dependencies...
+glibc-ld-2.32-7.i686 obsoleted by glibc-2.33-2.i686
+glibc-2.32-7.i686 obsoleted by glibc-2.33-2.i686
+Something wrong, something not quite right with 0.42.2 (stable)
+Assertion 'i_best >= 0' failed, misc.c:412
+Please report this bug to: https://github.com/poldek-pm/poldek/issues/new
+Aborted (core dumped)
+</code>
+In case of poldek crashing during update like this, please use the following command
+(substitute <ARCH> with the system architecture (x86_64/i686/x32):
+<code>
+poldek -n th-all -O "particle install = no" -uvF ldconfig-2.33-2.<ARCH> glibc\*
