Debian is among the distributions with most supported CPU architectures and excellent cross-compilation support. We are working on improving its cross-building capabilities and keeping it easily cross-bootstrappable from source for upcoming CPU architectures. Therefore, we'll meet in an upcoming team sprint in Würzburg, Germany. See https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2025/BootstrapCrossbuild .

The Debian Publicity Team will no longer post on X/Twitter. We took this decision since we feel X doesn't reflect Debian shared values as stated in our social contract, code of conduct and diversity statement. X evolved into a place where people we care about don't feel safe. You are very much invited to follow us on https://bits.debian.org , on https://micronews.debian.org/ , or any media as listed on https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Publicity/otherSN #debian

The fixed Stable version is 3.2.7-1+deb12u1 and the fixed Testing/Unstable version is 3.3.0+ds1-3

Happy New Year 2025! Wishing everyone health, productivity, and a
successful Debian release later in this year.

Strict ownership of packages

I'm glad my last bits sparked discussions about barriers between
packages and contributors, summarized temporarily in some post on the

theme for Debian 13 "trixie". The theme is inspired by Trixie's (the fictional
character from Toy Story) frill and is also influenced by a previously used
theme called "futurePrototype" by Alex Makas.

After the Debian Desktop Team made the call for proposing themes, a total
of six choices were submitted. The desktop artwork poll was open… https://bits.debian.org/2024/12/ceratopsian-will-be-the-default-theme-for-debian-13.html

MiniDebConf Toulouse

I had the pleasure of attending the MiniDebConf in Toulouse, which
featured a range of engaging talks, complementing those from the
recent MiniDebConf in Cambridge. Both events were preceded by a DebCamp,
which provided a valuable opportunity for focused work and
collaboration.

During these events, I participated in numerous technical discussions on
topics such as maintaining… https://bits.debian.org/2024/12/bits-from-the-dpl-december.html
