While we all wait for the images to build and be tested and while the archive continues to be prepared so work on #forky can start (and #backports for #trixie can be done), how about some statistics?
Not the usual boring stuff like #package #numbers (MANY - 70753 binary packages from 34735 #source packages) or architecture space (lots, multiple hundred gigabytes per architecture), can find that in enough places.
How about this? The main #archive now has 54 suites (stable, testing, stable-backports, unstable but also the NEW queue are all suites). They all have 3 or 4 components (main, contrib, non-free, non-free-firmware) and can contain up to 19 different architectures (#trixie has 9 of them). Those suites are split over 9 archives - the public ones are those you see in the #Debian mirrors as different parts of them, others are purely internal functionality (NEW queue, buildd for example).
Curious for the #security archive? That has 17 suites in 5 archives.
hey guys isn't it soo annoying when you're using an encrypted messaging app and it tells you "could not decrypt" haha
good news: we're working hard on making this illegal. in a way
After a short lunch break work on the archive continues. The parts everyone had to wait for (actual #stable #trixie #debian13 suites) have been pushed to the CD image hosts before lunch - now the new #testing release #forky will be created and receive it's initial content. Also policy queues, the -r0 suite for trixie and backports suite are in the queue.
Same as before, the acting FTPMaster is Ansgar.
The contents of "trixie" are now with the Debian Images team, who are building and testing all the .iso files you'll be able to download once the release is ready. #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
So the signing process finished (twice now, with an error on FTPMaster side needing a new signature), SRMs have given us the signatures. #Debian #trixie #debian13 release process in the archive continues with preparing the new testing and various other steps -- but while that runs, the CD Image building machine gets a special mirror push so the image builders can start building and testing the installation images.
For those curious: It took a bit more than 260 commands on the main ftpmaster host already.
And now the Stable #release managers check if they like what got prepared to then sign the new #Debian #trixie #debian13 #linux release with their key.
BTW, did you know that Debian uses merged signatures for its stable releases? Not only the ftpmaster keys but also the stable release manager keys sign a release.
It’s release day for Debian 13 “trixie”! Across the world, the release, publicity, images, and FTP teams are making their final preparations for the new stable release. #debian #debian13 #trixie #ReleasingDebianTrixie
I am once again asking German software developers and designers to stop translating "Postleitzahl" to "Zip Code".
No country outside the US, its colonies and military bases has zip codes.
The collective term is "postal code".
People justify continuing to use #GitHub in all sorts of ways.
"OK, they're owned by Microsoft who has spent decades trying to crush FOSS, but..."
"Yes, they steal code to feed their planet-destroying LLMs, but..."
"Sure, they help ICE enforce fascist policy, but..."
"Yes, they're supporting genocide, but..."
There's no "but" clause that justifies supporting all of that.
Values require sacrifices. This is the price we pay for the world we want.
Don't collaborate. #Resist #GiveUpGitHub

wow, the conservatives successfully bullied a supreme court justice into turning down the job.
fuck these people, i swear to fucking god.
