Arch Linux User Repository

TIL the DCO driver has been upstreamed into the kernel since 6.16. So yeah, considering linux-lts is soon about to be bumped to 6.18, most people should no longer need this package. Hence I am hereby disowning it.

PSA:

Since upstream doesn't provide "true releases" and only tags, I have no good way to be notified of them, at least none that I know of. And they are too frequent for me to track anyways. So my plan is to only update when either something breaks, or when someone flags this package.

I'm also open to handing out co-maintainership if you would like to share the update duty. Just ask in the comments.

@SwooshyCueb I can do a drive-by update if you're busy or something. Let me know.

Just got some feedback from upstream, this is fixed by updated version, i.e., v0.2.20250523. I flagged this package out of date.

Just upgraded kernel to 6.15.2 and getting this:

[deleted]

This package can be used with extra/openvpn, which supports DCO on the userland side since pkgver 2.6.1-1 (Mar 09, 2023).

Thanks. Updated to latest commit.

Hi. Upstream merged a patch for build issues on the latest kernels. Please adjust the _dco_commit in the PKGBUILD.

@glitsj16 Thank you. Fixed.
