If you have any questions, please ask the publicity team or the Debian English localisation mailing-list.

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.

New Debian mailing list

The Debian listmasters have recently created this new mailing list:

  • debian-clojure: for discussions of packaging Clojure and projects implemented in it. Clojure is a dynamic and functional dialect of the Lisp programming language on the JVM.

Salsa project for asking autopkgtest questions

The Debian CI team would like to encourage and help more maintainers to add autopkgtest support to their packages. To that effect, there is now the autopkgtest-help repository on salsa, where maintainers can ask questions related to testing their packages by opening issues.

/sbin/raw dropped from util-linux

Linux 5.14 dropped the "raw" block/char device driver, and also broke building the raw(8) utility program. util-linux in bookworm/sid has dropped this binary. Given the very generic name, it is impossible to find any users. If you maintain a package using /sbin/raw, please make the appropriate changes.
