In a short note to the Reproducible Builds mailing list, Debian developer Roland Clobus announced that live images for Debian 12.10 ('bookworm') are now 100% reproducible. See the reproducible live images and Debian Live todo pages on the Debian wiki for more information on...
The folio transition is one of the most fundamental kernel changes ever made; it can be thought of as being similar to replacing the foundation of a building while it remains open for business. So it is not surprising that, for some years, the annual Linux Storage,...

Boudhayan Bhattcharya has posted a lengthy article about the announcement that the Freedesktop project is dropping OpenH264 from the Freedesktop SDK for Flatpak applications and runtimes. Some Flatpak applications that depend on the Freedesktop runtime version 23.08 will...
By the time that Linus Torvalds released the 6.14 kernel, 11,003 non-merge changesets had been pulled into the mainline, making this one of the smallest releases we have seen in some time. Indeed, one must go back to the 4.0 release, which happened almost exactly ten years...

Linus has released the 6.14 kernel, a bit later than expected: So it's early Monday morning (well - early for me, I'm not really a morning person), and I'd love to have some good excuse for why I didn't do the 6.14 release yesterday on my regular Sunday afternoon release...
The adoption of open-source software in governments has had its ups and downs. While open source seems like a 'no-brainer', it turns out that governments can be surprisingly resistant to using FOSS for a variety of reasons. Federico González Waite spoke in the Open...

The Open Source Initiative (OSI) has announced the results of its recent board of directors election. Ruth Suehle and McCoy Smith are new to the board, while Carlo Piana will serve another term. The results, however, seem tainted in the eyes of some participants and...
As a system runs and its memory becomes fragmented, allocating large, physically contiguous regions of memory becomes increasingly difficult. Much effort over the years has gone into avoiding the need to make such allocations whenever possible, but there are times when they...
Julien Malka has called for the NixOS project to use build-reproducibility to detect when a program has a maintainer-generated tarball that results in a different artifact than building from source. There are good reasons for projects to release maintainer-generated...
Brendan Jackman has been working to try to get ahead of the next hardware CPU vulnerability before it gets discovered. In January, he posted the second version of a patch set that introduces address-space isolation (ASI) as a way of preventing future CPU vulnerabilities...
Raspberry Pi has announced rpi-image-gen, a tool to create custom software images for its devices. rpi-image-gen is a Bash orientated scripting engine capable of producing software images with different on-disk partition layouts, file systems and profiles using collections...
The Asahi Linux project, working to support Linux on Apple hardware, has published a progress report to coincide with the 6.14 kernel release. Now that Rust for Linux abstractions are starting to be merged at a healthy pace, we are faced with an emerging challenge. It is...
