EDK II Shell

  • The EDK II should be packaged as binary. I discussed the requirement with the Debian maintainer. Next step is to create a pull request on salsa.debian.org.

Soft lockups when booting with Radeon GPU on RISC-V

  • Pull requests created for livecd-rootfs and debian-cd.

python-cryptography

  • Unmaintained package python-omemo-backend-signal was dropped form the archive to allow migration of python-cryptography.

Lenovo X13s

  • Created a preinstalled image. It runs fine from NVMe but running from USB still suffers from a Linux 6.2 kernel issue.
  • Tested a new kernel with EFI variable support.
