Julia v1.5.4 and v1.6.0-rc2 have been released

@pgagarinov I’m happy to see another Archlinux user here, but regarding AUR, you should really know that:

  • there are no “quality standards” for AUR packages
  • you can report AUR packaging bugs on AUR in the comments
  • if you want to report a bug upstream, you should first reproduce by building manually

Furthermore, regarding AUR helpers:

  • again, no quality standards
  • if you want to report a bug for AUR packaging, first reproduce without using an AUR helper. I.e., keep in mind that no AUR helper is standard, and you can’t rely on other people even knowing about the AUR helper you use, or the AUR helper being correct.
  • IMO, for this reason it is offensive to even mention using an AUR helper in any bug report

EDIT: the wiki says this about AUR helpers:

Warning: AUR helpers are not supported by Arch Linux. You should become familiar with the manual build process in order to be prepared to troubleshoot problems.
