I thank you for this post; it got me to look into freetype's latest release, and came across the sed patch to enable subpixel hinting. I've got to admit that the fonts look ever so much better now. Thanks again!
i use freetype-2.7.1, since two month, this version work perfectly here on current
I looked into udisks2-2.6.4, which recently unforked back into udisks2 from storaged, and while it seems to work, I guess the appropriate thing to say is that it works too well. Instead of only just-inserted removable media (and potentially cdrom drives) showing up on my Desktop, I get an icon for *all* of the various mountpoints available (e.g. / and /home and /var/cache and /var/tmp and /var/lock and /data and so on - yes, I have /var/cache and /var/tmp and /var/lock as tmpfs mounts).
This is almost surely fixable by adding udev rules with something along the lines of UDISKS2_IGNORE or whatever, but quite frankly, I'm not going to spend time exploring/doing that because it's not a global fix. In other words, I'm not about suggest an upgrade to something that causes every user to manually write udev rules.
If someone is sufficiently motivated to upgrade udisks2, feel free to figure out what changed and how to fix it. In the meantime, 2.1.8 is good enough and we'll stick with it until we can't (at which point maybe *I* will be sufficiently motivated) :-)

I have make a package
Just tested quickly, it seem this new udisk work, after exec in root xterm /usr/libexec/udisks2/./udisksd
after, disk, usb-storage media, and cdrom Appear in dolphin (plasma5)
Is there any reason for not having CONFIG_CIFS_SMB2 in the kernel? Having this would enable client support for the supposedly much more advcaned SMB2 and SMB3 protocols in addition to SMB1/CIFS (the only current option). As mount.cifs still uses SMB1/CIFS as the default (unless stated otherwise via the vers= option), simply enabling CONFIG_CIFS_SMB2 is not expected to break anything.
That's unchanged since the version in 14.2. Anyway, while it seems that there is a harmless duplication of the PATH variable assignment, I'm not aware of any bugs due to not having a more complete $PATH. The file is included unchanged from the source tarball... maybe upstream would know?

I see , is a "source" problem , only stetic , no affect functionality.
Actually I am running Firefox 53.0 as downloaded from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#nl on Current64 without problems. The only thing one has to do is symlink /usr/lib/mozilla -> ../lib64/mozilla.
