Re: News that might affect BunsenLabs

Thanks, excellent news! Debian only issues a new release when it's ready, which makes more sense than a fixed release schedule as other distros have.

To me that makes more sense than that of Fedora or OpenSuse for example.

Yes, I agree. There is an opposite extreme though - a distro like Slackware where you never know when the next release is going to come out, or even if it will at all. It's good to have a vague idea of when the next one is due (I think Debian gets it about right).

Yes Slackware 15 took several years to be released IIRC. Debian's philosophy of releasing when ready is very sensible considering it's a very actively developed distro.

Has this changed? I didn't see any changes when I checked.

Thanks for the update. Debian have been talking about "Reproducible Builds" for years and it's good to hear they've got to the point where all new packages must be reproducible. Roland Clobus has been working hard on this for Live-Build also, good for our isos.

That Reddit post has a lot of useful replies to spell out why it's important.

Scary stuff, but good to know Debian are already on it. They're not on that list of vulnerable distros, and this notification arrived in my mailbox from the Debian Security mailing list on 9th May:

Re: News that might affect BunsenLabs

^I'm glad I switched from mageia to debian many years ago. 

In the past few days I've been mainly busy installing new, patched kernels into the systems.

And while the gaps in the Linux kernel (discovered by AI?) were being discussed in relevant, semi-commercial forums, I had already had the 'new, patched kernel' on it an hour before.
If I counted correctly, there were three at siduction within a week.
