Debian Installer Release RC 2, thanks to the Debian Installer Team! https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2025/07/msg00000.html #debian #trixie

The first automated test results are in for the co-installation of Debian next to pre-installed Windows. https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2025/06/msg00179.html

There will be a Debian booth at the 26th edition of Journées du Logiciel Libre at Lyon (France) on the 24th and 25th May 2025 with the @DebianFrance team. Pass by and meet other Debian users and contributors! https://jdll.org/programme #debian

Trixie is almost here, but we still have some Release Critical (RC) bugs to fix before the release. Check https://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/ for the complete list and pick one to fix! #debian #trixie

Trixie is just around the corner! The hard freeze began on 2025-05-17 (key packages and packages without autopkgtests are in full freeze). Check https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2025/05/msg00004.html for more info #debian #trixie

After Debian archive was updated to 12.11, the Debian CD team did the hard work of preparing and testing our installation medias to ensure everything worked properly. Their work is now complete and the images are available at https://www.debian.org/distrib/ #debian #bookworm

Progress on securing our distribution against supply chain attacks: The Debian testing/trixie release on amd64 is now reproducible for over 95%, and counting. You can use the new debian-repro-status package to query the reproducibility status of your installed Debian packages. See https://reproduce.debian.net/ #debian #reproducible-builds

Future of OSU Open Source Lab in Jeopardy: a recent change in funding for the Oregon State University College of Engineering (CoE), which strongly supported the project, makes OSL's current funding model no longer sustainable. Currently the OSL provides infrastructure hosting for Debian and many other Free Software projects, and virtual machines for x86, aarch64 and ppc64le used for CI. If you are in position to make funds available, contact the address you can find in the call for help from the director of OSL https://osuosl.org/blog/osl-future/
