Differences with main @ 20240104.1000

[samueldr]

Since we have the tooling, now, let's try to strive to be as close as possible for #1.

I am only comparing vendor packages, ignoring stock Arch Linux ones.

With data from:

• https://github.com/Jovian-Experiments/PKGBUILDs-mirror/tree/manifest/main

---

Unknowns

These still need to be investigated and changes triaged.

• jupiter-main/steamos-devkit-service-0.20220401.0-7 - Can we run this? Should we run this?
• jupiter-main/xorg-xwayland-jupiter-jupiter.20220831.d4d883ad5-1 - packaging changes not interesting, need to diff source with upstream

Key SteamOS bits

These should always be packaged and at least somewhat up to date.

• holo-main/steamos-customizations-git-20231122.1-1 - Up to date

Nice to haves

Misc packages and changes to upstream packages for a better experience, see notes.

• holo-main/maliit-keyboard-2.3.1-2.1 - Disables Presage support, presumably big and unmaintained, we don't care about big
• jupiter-main/bluez-5.69-1.2 - Some Valve specific patches there, investigate impact
• jupiter-main/ds-inhibit-0.1.1-1 - Some kind of workaround for DualShock controllers, see if it's even used?
• jupiter-main/holo-dmi-rules-1.0-1 - Currently applied but seemingly non-critical
• jupiter-main/ibus-anthy-1.5.14-4 - Some IME stuff, investigate
• jupiter-main/ibus-table-cangjie-lite-1.8.8-2 - More IME stuff
• jupiter-main/networkmanager-1.42.6-1.1 - Patched with a workaround for 802.1x networks, investigate if we care
• jupiter-main/plasma-remotecontrollers-5.27.10-1.1 - Reports device name as "Steam Deck" over CEC, extremely low priority
• jupiter-main/steam-im-modules-jupiter.20220223-1 - Opens Steam keyboard as IME
• jupiter-main/usbhid-gadget-passthru-0.1.2-1 - seems to be intended for using the Deck as a controller on a PC, not working currently
• jupiter-main/vpower-1.4.1-1 - Reports low battery conditions to Steam, forces shutdown on low battery

Debug tools

Some tools that are clearly not intended to be used by end users, except maybe for bug reporting.

• holo-main/drm_info-2.4.0-1
• holo-main/vkmark-git-r133.30d2cd3-2 - Vulkan benchmark, packaged in nixpkgs but old-ish
• jupiter-main/gpu-trace-2.12-1
• jupiter-main/renderdoc-minimal-1.30-1

Things we don't care about

Changes that are specific to SteamOS and/or the Arch base it's built on.
