Foundations Team Updates - Thursday 2024/03/14

Distro

armhf Y2038 support (a.k.a armhf 64-bit time_t)

  • Analyzed the compatibility of ubuntu-specific libraries which are luckily mostly unaffected but some couldn’t be analyzed and will be treated as incompatible

Misc

  • Worked with @hyask on the addition of queued and running tests to the autopkgtest pages that show the test history
  • Improvements to the crypto-config specification to expand coverage and make it more readable
  • Working on a rewriter for excuses... to make it lighter for browsers and more useful; got some initial results that are very encouraging (but it’s painful: this page is a big hack)
  • Created next week’s status topic: Foundations Team Updates - Thursday 2024/03/21
