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

Fixes for other lower severity CVEs have also been released in the same update and can all be tracked at https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/rsync. The fixed Stable version is 3.2.7-1+deb12u1 and the fixed Testing/Unstable version is 3.3.0+ds1-3

After our archive was updated to 12.9, our Debian CD team did the hard work of preparing and testing our installation medias to make sure everything is working correctly. Now their work is complete and the images are available at https://www.debian.org/distrib/
