Packaging Request #3355
[toxcore] Package upgrade to prepare for new release
100%
Description
Hello,
Due to recent changes to the DHT code in c-toxcore the network does not provide enough reliability for new features to work properly.
I would like to ask for a package upgrade to 0.2.18 in order to prepare the network for our new release where the new features will be available for use(including support for the clients).
Thank you

I selected the wrong type of issue, this is a packaging request. Please change if possible.
Thank you.

it is not a packaging request really - packaging request is for packages which are not yet in the repos - this is a request to upgrade the version of an existing package - normally, that should be done on the packages website, with the "flag out-of-date" button, unless the outdated package causes some bug
however, the "flag out-of-date" button on the packages website is disabled for this package, because this package comes from arch - that would need to be done on the arch packages website (and it is already flagged "out-of-date" on the arch packages website) - we normally do not over-ride arch packages, unless there is a bug of some kind, which arch will not fix - however, it was flagged "out-of-date" over 6 months ago, so it does appear to need some attention from someone

- Status changed from open to info needed
toxore is used by the following clients, packaged by arch:
- qtox
- toxic
- tuntox
- utox
so the relevant question to ask is, does this cause a bug in one of those clients? - if it does, then i could escalate this to a bug report against the arch package
arch has only one bug report about any of these packages (utox) in the past two years; and that is only about an expired GPG key
toxore is used by the following clients, packaged by parabola:
- tox-prpl
does this cause a bug in 'tox-prpl'? - if so, perhaps we could do something about that now
