Given the suggestion of using -18-, I decided to calculate how much
bigger our packages would be with the numbers given:
cuda-10.0.130-2-x86_64.pkg.tar 58.5M 104.40%
gcc-8.2.1+20181127-1-x86_64.pkg.tar 2.8M108.30%

I had a potentially slightly faster system for a week... It was mainly
a test to see if I spotted some build issues of test suite failures
beyond what is seen for x86_64. All was good.

Hi all,
As you may know, we have had people busy looking at what it takes to
make our packages reproducible.
There has been a lot of progress there lately. Our reproducible builds
team (along with the wider reproducible builds community) has been
building our packages in different environments

Hi all,
Following the roll out of the base metapackage, and its poorly written
news post, we agreed that all new posts should have a draft posted to
arch-dev-public. There was a potential exclusion for trivial
--overwrite posts [1].
This was followed for the Xorg update. It was not followed

Remember when Arch Linux was optimized out of the box. We have the
blazingly fast i686 port while other distros hung out in i386 land.
Those were the days where the idea of Arch being fast started. Now it
has degraded to stuff of legend.
Now, x86_64 is old. We should continue to push forward

It used to. One of the original selling points was i686 optimization.
Then we got lazy, and stopped innovating.

it being the first one run online.
