Valve has announced a new collaboration with Arch Linux. The company will financially support work on critical projects such as a build service and secure signing system.
Valve announced a new collaboration with the Arch Linux distribution. The company revealed it will provide financial backing for two crucial Arch Linux initiatives— a build service infrastructure and secure signing enclave.
This collaboration will take off some old pains for Arch Linux. The volunteer developers work on projects in their free time. However, some tasks require an amount of time investment that volunteers alone couldn’t reasonably achieve. Valve’s backing will allow that focused work to be done through freelance contracts, accelerating progress.
Of these, the main one would be setting up a strong build service.
