Lots of posts in the debian-user mailing list complaining about updates with Debian 11.11 suddenly failing.

*Busy* day in Cambridge.

All finished and wrapping up.

Almost finished the testing we're going to do at 15:29 UTC.

We're now well under way: Been joined by a Simon McVittie (smcv) and we're almost through testing most of the standard images.

In Cottenham with Andy and the usual suspects.

We're part way through the testing of release media.

LATE NEWS I haven't blogged until now: I should have done from Thursday onwards.

We're doing fairly well: Debian release team have been working really hard on a double point release today.

A double length Debian release means the Release Team don't get much peace What with last minute breaks And the time that it takes Treat them with respect today, please The media teams on the hook As we follow our normal play book With laptops all primed…

I have had excellent colleagues both at my day job and, especially, in Debian over the last thirty-odd years.

It's been a LONG day: two point releases in a day takes of the order of twelve or thirteen hours of fairly solid work on behalf of those doing the releases and testing.

That's all folks ...

Quick recap of slides and safety information for the day from Steve McIntyre Now into the Release Team questions following a release team overview.

A great talk on SteamOS progress to effective boot loaders for atomic OS updates.

A quick one slide presentation from Helmut on how to use Debian without sudo - Sudo Apt Purge Sudo A presentation on upcoming Ph.D research on Digital Obsolescence - from Eda Antarctic and Arctic research from Carlos Pina i Estany * Amazing * what you can…

So following Emanuele's talk on a Lenovo X13s, we're now at the Debian on Mobile BoF (Birds of a feather) discussion session from Arnaud Ferraris Discussion and questions on how best to support many variants of mobile phones: the short answer seems to be…

And we're here - a couple of lectures in.

Another really good day at ARM.

Motivation Andy (RattusRattus) and I have been formalising instructions for using Pete Batard's version of Tianocore (and therefore UEFI booting) for the Raspberry Pi 4 together with a Debian arm64 netinst to make a modified Debian installer on a USB stick

At Arm for two days before the mini-Debconf this weekend.

Over in Cambridge with RattusRattus, Sledge, egw and Isy.

Building a mirror for rpm-based distributions.

And nothing changes: rediscovered from past Andrew at his first Cambridge BBQ and almost the first blog post here: "House full of people I knew only from email, some very old friends.

There's been a very successful barbeque running in the garden: burgers, sausages, beer, vegetarian dishes and then ice cream.

The meat has been fetched: those of us in the house are about to get bacon sandwiches.
