apt
- APT contents generation tests with valgrind, and then fighting with gcc generating invalid reads:
- Vectorization of a sum of unsigned char[512] resulted in 520 or 528 byte reads, failing valgrind used in apt CI
- Optimization of strcmp(e->d_name, “partial”) to an 8-byte single instruction comparison caused another valgrind failure.
- Also fighting with PPAs and autopkgtest and infrastructure issues all week, trying to run the tests in the testing PPA.
- Small discourse post What's new in APT in Ubuntu 24.10?
grub
- discussion about versioned grub packages with @mkukri
