=== What can you preseed when installing Debian? ===

Steve McIntyre [[https://blog.einval.com/2020/02/24#what_can_you_preseed|created]] a [[https://jack.einval.com/debian-preseed/|debian-preseed]] service that extracts all of the debconf templates in the Debian archive and lists each of the possible preseed options available along with their descriptions. If you want to repeat the extractions, you can use Steve's new Perl script or the existing tools on the [[https://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Preseed|preseed wiki page]].

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. If there are some other items already, please sort your item in descending order of importance to the Debian development community. See /Help for more information on how to write entries. If you have any questions, please ask the publicity team or the 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.

Qt packages built with OpenGL ES support are now available

Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev's work Qt packages now offer two OpenGL flavours, Desktop and ES. This changes are provided by Qt GUI and Qt Quick libraries. With the help of the Release Team the necessary packages in the archive have been rebuilt in order to pick up the changes. Desktop and ES packages are not co-installable as they provide the same set of shared libraries. So most packages now have an alternative dependency like

  • libqt5gui5 (>= 5.x) | libqt5gui5-gles (>= 5.x).

Packages get such a dependency automatically if they are using ${shlibs:Depends}. More details are available in Dmitry's blog post.
