I’ve spent most of this week preparing a testing framework for the bootloader stack. The goal of this effort is to have every supported boot chain automatically tested at some point. I am a long way from that, having started this effort on Monday. Some initial autopkgtests for secure boot enabled shim+GRUB on arm64 and amd64 should be out there reasonably soon.

  • delve Fixed a FTBFS in delve https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1052030
    • With recent changes to debian/ubuntu tzdata package, the Mexico/BajaSur is not valid anymore (not present by default). Without this timezone, the tested binary panicked. Changing the timezone used in the test fixed the issue.

Submitted small improvements to visual-excuses, see PR #10
