I booted up debian-bookworm-DI-alpha-amd64-DVD-1 the other day. Some nice changes in the installer.
8bit
Updated Debian 12: 12.1 released
A collection of security upgrades and bugfixes have come in.
It would be good to get Boron out soon...

Dropping i386 kernel packages
Debian will no longer provide 32bit kernels
probably starting with Linux 6.11
https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/ … 00138.html
This means that 32bit Carbon releases will be very difficult, probably impossible.

Gimp has been removed from Trixie because of an as-yet unfixed bug:
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1569365 … m-testing/
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … ug=1078402
I guess for a package as popular as Gimp, it will be fixed eventually.

^ I wonder if gimp-3.0 will make trixie before freeze? https://www.gimp.org/news/2024/10/05/de … nt-update/

^I wouldn't bet on it. The upstream team haven't released it yet.
But Trixie could still be a year away, so certainly possible.

No chance! They've been spruiking it since earlier last year! Still, surely should make experimental in the next cycle

I'd think so, GIMP 2.99 is currently in experimental...
No, he can't sleep on the floor. What do you think I'm yelling for?!!!

Debian Installer Trixie Alpha 1 release

Trixie installer takes off. There still seem to be plenty of bugs, but maybe a final release this summer?
We need to have BL Carbon ready too of course...

GIMP 3.0-RC2 is in Sid, so a matter of time before GIMP gets to go back into Trixie.

This news came out last month in fact.
Xfce 4.20 with experimental Wayland support released
https://www.osnews.com/story/141355/xfc … -released/
There's some Wayland vs Xorg discussion in the comments.
Debian Trixie is already shipping xfce 4.20: https://packages.debian.org/trixie/xfce4
This is good for BunsenLabs because we use a number of XFCE components.

The policykit-1-gnome package now has an RC bug so it won't be included in Debian 13:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=990271
deadbang is moving to mate-polkit, seems to be the obvious option.

Perhaps a good candidate for BL as a replacement for policykit-1-gnome?

This issue came up a while ago: https://forums.bunsenlabs.org/viewtopic.php?id=8595
We've been temporarily using lxpolkit in Carbon's user autostart as it looked like the simplest option in the polkit-1-auth-agent virtual package list. I don't remember if mate-polkit was in that list at the time, so @HOAS thanks for bringing it up. It has a few more dependencies than lxpolkit but has the advantage of being GTK3 based and might be more useful going forward.
Let's give mate-polkit a try.

Ah, I see you're way ahead of me here, sorry for the noise. I didn't see it when I scanned this thread and I didn't think to search.
I've only just found out myself, and thanks to your link I now know tint2 is also pining for the fyords. Crickey

^Yes the tint2 dev announced some time ago that there would be no more development.
https://gitlab.com/o9000/tint2
The final release of tint2 is 17.0.2. The code is frozen and no more feature requests are accepted.
Sid is still on 17.0.1 and that has been blocked from Trixie:
https://tracker.debian.org/news/1579766 … m-testing/
If that doesn't get fixed then we'll have to switch to eg xfce4-panel for Carbon.

Mrs HoaS has been using an openbox desktop with lxpanel for about 10 years now. She likes it so much I'm not allowed to change it — it was originally pekwm so I had to theme openbox to look like that so she wouldn't notice...
lxpanel works very well with openbox but it's not as l33t as tint2, which is a shame. The look tends to be quite bland.
