Montreal's Debian & Stuff - November 2024

2024-11-13 - Louis-Philippe Véronneau

Our Debian User Group met on November 2nd after a somewhat longer summer hiatus than normal. It was lovely to see a bunch of people again and to be able to dedicate a whole day to hacking :)

Here is what we did:

lavamind:

  • reproduced puppetdb FTBFS #1084038 and reported the issue upstream
  • uploaded a new upstream version for pgpainless (1.6.8-1)
  • uploaded a new revision for ruby-moneta (1.6.0-3)
  • sent an inquiry to the backports team about #1081696

pollo:

  • reviewed & merged many lintian merge requests, clearing out most of the queue
  • uploaded a new lintian release (1.120.0)
  • worked on unblocking the revival of lintian.debian.org (many thanks to anarcat and pkern)
  • apparently (kindly) told people to rtfm at least 4 times :)

anarcat:

LeLutin:

  • opened an RFS on the ruby team mailing list for the new upstream version of ruby-necromancer
  • worked on packaging the new upstream version of ruby-pathspec

tvaz:

  • did AM (Application Manager) work

tassia:

  • explored the Debian Jr. project (website, wiki, mailing list, salsa repositories)
  • played a few games for Nico's entertainment :-)
  • built and tested a Debian Jr. live image

This time around, we went back to Foulab. Thanks for hosting us!

As always, the hacklab was full of interesting stuff and I took a few (bad) pictures for this blog post:
