Welcome to this year's sixth issue of DPN, the newsletter for the Debian community. Topics covered in this issue include:
The Debian Perl team had its first
sprint
in May, and it was a success:
seven members met in Barcelona over the weekend from May 22 to
May 24 to kick off Perl development for Stretch and
to work on QA tasks across the more than 3000 packages that the
team maintains. Find all the details in the sprint
report.
On his blog, Osamu Aoki announced
some updates to Debian documentation. Having created the
debmake helper script to
produce Debian source packages, to take into account new packaging best practices,
he has rewritten the Debian Maintainers' Guide from scratch, available in the
debmake-doc package.
Meanwhile, the Debian
Handbook is now also available from the
Debian website. This version
is built automatically from the
corresponding
package in Debian unstable. This is also the case for the documentation from
debmake-doc and more
generally for other debian-doc related packages.
Neil McGovern, Debian project leader, sent a
report
about his recent activities: communication (in particular an
interview
by Steven Ovadia, and an open questions
session on Reddit), funding management, and work with trusted organisations.
Ben Armstrong
sent
a second call for help to revive the rescue flavour of the Debian Live image,
which missed the Debian Jessie release, with a list of tasks to achieve.
If you are interested in helping with the Debian Live rescue image, contact
the #debian-live IRC channel on irc.debian.org, or send an email to
Debian Live mailing list.
For the Wheezy release, the Debian project moved from having FFmpeg as the provider of multimedia libraries
to Libav, which is also in use in the Jessie release.
The Debian Multimedia team
announced
that after a careful
review, they have decided to switch back to FFmpeg, and will do their best
to finish the transition for the next stable release, Debian Stretch.
The
Linux
Fundation's Core Infrastructure Initiative
announced
that
they will support
two Debian Developers, Holger Levsen and
Jérémy Bobbio, with $200,000 to advance their Debian work on
reproducible builds
and to collaborate more closely with other distributions such as
Fedora, Ubuntu, and OpenWrt to benefit from this effort.
In the meantime, Jérémy Bobbio
published
several
issues
of his
weekly
report
from the Debian reproducible builds effort: since the last issue of
the Debian Project News, about 500 packages have become reproducible.
Matthias Klose sent a
message
about the transition to GCC5 and libstdc++6, scheduled for the end of the month.
Bugs were filed for packages
failing
to build from source
with the new GCC version, and for those where
investigation
is needed, to see if the transition to the new libstdc++ affects them.
Details of the transition can be found on the
dedicated Debian wiki page.
Yuru Roy Shao, mentored by Ritesh
Raj Sarraf, is working on Apport integration in Debian. Yuru posted
a report on
the new features he implemented: uniqueness of the apport-notifyd notification
daemon instance, installation of debug symbols, use of the system APT cache to
avoid downloading packages twice, and Debian BTS integration.
Orestis Ioannou also sent an
update
on the work he has done on a new web application, the copyright tracker, as part of
the Debsources project.
Guido Günther,
Thorsten Alteholz,
Mike Gabriel, and
Ben
Hutchings published their activities in Debian on their blogs, with a special
emphasis on their work on
Squeeze Long Term Support.
Several members of the Debian community shared some tips:
Thomasz Buchert explained
how to tag emails which haven't been replied to, using notmuch.
Simon Josefsson
explained
how to deal with SSH Host Certificates with a YubiKey NEO.
Julien Danjou
published
on his blog an article on the need to always consider timezone
information with any timestamp, and how to do that in Python.
Sandro Tosi explained
how to tweak the configuration of CFEngine for package upgrades, to deal with
epochs in Debian versions.
Michael Prokop
noticed
on his blog that HAProxy causes random Hash Sum mismatch
errors with
Debian Squeeze clients. A solution to this issue was proposed in a comment by Petter
Reinholdtsen.
The 39th issue of the
miscellaneous news for developers
has been released and covers the following topics:
Martin Michlmayr
announced
that support for the D-Link DNS-323 and Conceptronic CH3SNAS has been
removed in Debian Stretch, because the kernel is now too large to fit into
the flash on these devices.
The technical committee
published
their
decision about the maintainership of the
aptitude package.
Niels Thykier sent an
update
on the status of
automatically generated
debug packages, with a summary of the missing pieces, hints on how people can help to
improve the situation, and some answers to frequently asked questions.
He also introduced
in his blog a new tool he created with the FTP masters for dak,
the Debian Archive Kit. The purpose of the auto-decrufter
is to
identify common types of cruft (such as binary packages no longer
built from any source package), and automatically remove them from
unstable when nothing Depends or Build-Depends on them. Until recently that
removal has been 100% manual and done by the FTP masters.
Pirate
Praveen Arimbrathodiyil successfully managed to get a
crowd-funding campaign to work
full time for a month on the Debian packaging for the
Diaspora social network.
He sent
a report explaining the different tasks he carried out, including packaging 23
dependencies and updating 34 existing packages.
4 applicants have been
accepted
as Debian Developers, and
23 people have started
to maintain packages since the previous issue of the Debian
Project News. Please welcome
