News for Debian developers

This wiki page collects small news that all developers should know but that are not worth a dedicated mail to debian-devel-announce. Follow the template "Example of news" and add your news below it. See /Help for more information on how to write entries.

If you are able to post to debian-devel-announce (all Debian members can) and there are 5 or more items below, you might want to send out the news. To send out a new issue, you can use this helper script to generate the email version of this page. After generating the mail, proof-read it, correct any spelling, formatting or grammatical errors and send out the mail. Once the mail is sent and archived, please delete the items that were sent, add a link to the archived mail in the Previous news section and mention the mail in ProjectNews.

Listing derivatives on the Debian website?

We are seeking feedback about listing derivatives on the Debian website, including if we should list some derivatives, which criteria we should use to select the listed derivatives and how many should be listed. If you have an opinion on this topic, any other suggestions for the derivatives page or for linking to it from other parts of the website, please reply to the thread on the debian-project mailing list.

Future of Debian Live?

Steve ?McIntyre is questioning if Debian Live has a future and calling for help with testing and developing the Debian Live images. If people do not show up to help, then he will disable building live images altogether and the only option for using Debian will be to install it before using it.

Windows viruses in Debian email packages

Sometimes upstreams of email related packages include live Windows viruses/malware in their test corpus, either by accident or on purpose, with or without removing infection/transmission mechanisms. Due to the large amount of anti-spam and anti-malware services monitoring the Internet, this can lead to debian.org mirrors getting flagged and reducing the reputation of debian.org in those services as well as source packages getting blocked by the content-scanning firewalls that some networks operate. If your package is email related and includes a test corpus, please scan it for viruses/malware. I've added support to check-all-the-things for doing this using clamdscan or you can run it manually:

clamdscan --fdpass --infected --no-summary

Debian bug tracker accessibility tag

The Debian bug tracker has added the a11y tag for tracking accessibility issues. Please use it whenever you file an accessibility issue or add it whenever you find an old bug report about an accessibility issue. Debian's accessibility efforts are documented on the website and the wiki.

Derivatives patches added to the PTS

The Debian PTS has added the links to patches from the Debian derivatives represented in the derivatives census. The patches are generated using the sources from the Debian wayback machine so as to minimise diffs as much as possible. Help from developers with Python and Django experience is needed to port this work from the PTS to the Debian Package Tracker. More help with all of Debian's derivative related efforts is needed too, including deciding which derivatives should be listed on the Debian website.
