@linuxfoundation this is incredibly blatant propaganda and every time you post shit like this it reminds me how divorced the linux foundation is from linux users. the GDPR is the bare fucking minimum protocol necessary to support for citizens to be able to trust corporations for things that otherwise would have to be restricted to much more highly regulated entities like the government itself
Some more #Debian #statistics? Between the release of #bookworm and #trixie there have been 8576 NEW package accepts processed by an FTPMaster (with the vaste majority being handled by @debian! ), 1021 REJECTS and 149 PROD mails (asking maintainer to fix something in a NEW upload).
More numbers? In the same timeframe there have been a total of 1139177 changes files with a total of 30668676559045 bytes of package files processed by dak. Yes, that is 1.1 Million uploads with more than 30TeraByte of package data attached. (That is new packages, updated versions and of course it all gets build for all the various architectures we have in #Debian).
The archive would be a mess if there wouldn't be cleanups running. Getting rid of old versions and also removing complete suites, in the same timeframe as used for the numbers above, the suite cleaning tool deleted 15970571 files out and away into the morgue (for those who wonder: This includes the move of buster to archive.debian.org).
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".
