# Tumbleweed Performance Repository
> A personal, performance-oriented package repository for **openSUSE Tumbleweed**.
> Built for reproducible packaging, minimal external dependencies, and rolling-release stability.
**Target:** openSUSE Tumbleweed · **Arch:** x86_64 (Zen 4) · **Build:** Open Build Service · **Status:** Active
---
## Overview
This repository provides **custom-built and repackaged software** that is either missing from the
official openSUSE repositories, unsuitable in its stock form, or better served by a build tuned to
modern hardware.
Every package is maintained with the same three priorities:
| Priority | What it means in practice |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Performance** | Compiler flags, runtime tuning, and sane defaults aimed at desktop responsiveness. |
| **Reproducibility** | Deterministic spec files, pinned sources, verifiable upstream tarballs or RPM bases. |
| **Low fragmentation** | Only ship what genuinely needs shipping — nothing duplicated from OSS/Non-OSS. |
**Primary target hardware:** AMD Ryzen 7 7700 (Zen 4) — builds are validated on real silicon,
not just in a chroot.
---
## Scope
This repository deliberately stays narrow. It exists to fill gaps, not to mirror the world.
- **Missing packages** — software absent from the official openSUSE repositories.
- **Unsuitable packages** — official builds that lack required features, codecs, or backends.
- **Optimized builds** — upstream sources compiled with tuning appropriate to modern x86-64 CPUs.
- **Repackaged binaries** — vendor-supplied artifacts wrapped into clean, upgrade-safe RPMs.
Anything the official repositories already ship well is **left alone**.

## Packages
### Kernel / System
| Package | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| `kernel-xanmod-v3` | XanMod kernel built at the `v3` microarchitecture level (AVX2/BMI2). Lower latency, improved scheduler behaviour, desktop-tuned defaults. |
### Development / Runtime
| Package | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| `android-studio` | JetBrains' Android IDE, packaged with correct desktop integration and dependency handling. |
| `waydroid` | Container-based Android runtime for Wayland sessions. |
| `winboat` | Windows application compatibility layer. |
### Networking / Internet
| Package | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| `brave-browser` | Privacy-focused Chromium derivative, tracking the stable channel. |
| `cloudflare-warp` | Cloudflare's WARP client and daemon. |
| `firefox_dev_edition` | Firefox Developer Edition, maintained alongside system Firefox without conflict. |
| `telegram` | Official Telegram Desktop client. |
| `ayugram` | Feature-extended Telegram client (AyuGram fork). |
### Shell / CLI
| Package | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| `zsh-syntax-highlighting` | Real-time command highlighting for Zsh, packaged for system-wide installation. |
### Desktop / Misc
| Package | Description |
| :--- | :--- |
| **KDE theming** | Plasma themes, icon sets, and configuration helpers. |
| **Utilities** | Small quality-of-life tools for day-to-day desktop work. |
| **Multimedia tools** | Codecs, encoders, and playback utilities that require non-default build flags. |
> The package list is indicative and evolves with the rolling release.

## Installation
Add the repository and install packages as you normally would:
```bash
# Add the repository (replace with the published base URL)
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh tumbleweed-performance
# Import the signing key if prompted
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
# Install a package
sudo zypper install kernel-xanmod-v3
```
### Priority and vendor switching
Packages here may intentionally shadow official ones (e.g. a kernel variant). To make the switch
explicit and prevent unintended downgrades:
```bash
# Give this repository a higher priority (lower number = higher priority)
sudo zypper modifyrepo --priority 90 tumbleweed-performance
# Allow vendor change for a single package
sudo zypper install --from tumbleweed-performance
```
Keep `zypper dup` clean by refreshing the repository before every distribution upgrade.

## Build Model
- **Platform:** Built on the **Open Build Service**, so every artifact carries a full build log.
- **Inputs:** Upstream source tarballs or verified RPM bases — never opaque binaries.
- **Triggers:** Automatic rebuilds whenever a dependency in the Tumbleweed snapshot changes.
- **Validation:** Installed and exercised on real hardware before publishing.
---
## Philosophy
1. **Minimal repository fragmentation.** A small, curated set beats a sprawling mirror.
2. **Predictable upgrades.** Rolling release should not mean rolling breakage.
3. **Performance where it matters.** Tuning is applied deliberately, not everywhere.
4. **Rolling-release awareness.** Spec files are reviewed against Tumbleweed snapshots regularly.
---
## Compatibility
| Item | Supported |
| :--- | :--- |
| Distribution | openSUSE Tumbleweed (rolling) |
| Architecture | `x86_64` |
| Tuning target | `x86-64-v3` (Zen 4 and equivalent) |
| Leap / Slowroll | Not supported |
| Other architectures | Not supported |
Packages built at the `v3` level require a CPU with AVX2 and BMI2. On older hardware,
substitute the official repository's equivalent package.
---
## Maintenance Status
**Active — continuously updated.**
- Repository refreshed alongside Tumbleweed snapshots.
- Security-relevant packages are prioritised.
- Breaking changes are noted in the repository changelog.
---
## Disclaimer
This is an **unofficial repository** maintained by a single individual.
- No guarantees are offered beyond the maintainer's own testing.
- No warranty, express or implied, is provided.
- Intended for users already comfortable with Tumbleweed, `zypper`, and repository management.
- You are responsible for your own system's stability.
If that sounds like the wrong trade-off for you, use the official repositories.

Package build repository for Arch Linux and CachyOS.
This project contains PKGBUILDs, packaging scripts, and automated builds for software targeting Arch-based distributions. It serves as a personal packaging and testing repository for maintaining packages, tracking build issues, and distributing build artifacts.
Packages may include:
- Upstream software builds
- Custom patches and modifications
- Experimental package versions
- Dependency and compatibility testing
Use at your own discretion. Feedback and bug reports are welcome.
Forks of kernels for better performance and features from different repos.
Development Packages
This project serves as a **testing and development area**. Packages here are experimental and intended for validation before being moved to the main `home:itachi_re` repository.
DroidCam turns an Android or iOS device into a wireless (or USB) webcam.
The virtual video device created by v4l2loopback is used by video-conferencing
and streaming applications (Skype, Zoom, Teams, OBS Studio, etc.).
This package installs the GTK3 GUI client (droidcam).
See the droidcam-cli sub-package for the command-line-only client.
