Hi Paul, Original Message Subject: Re: Misc Developer News (#59) From: Paul Gevers To: Donald Norwood , Philipp Kern Cc: debian-devel@lists.debian.org Date: 11/22/2023 More likely you need to do this signing of the mail differently. d-d-a is picky on accepting messages. While it worked in the past, I haven't figured out how to sign the mail in my e-mail client (thunderbird) nowadays in a way acceptable by d-d-a, and now always do the signing in-line and mail with $(mail) on *.debian.org. I did wind up doing just that from master.d.o. The signature was critically important as smartlist marked the sending attempt as spam as sigcheck was not able to verify my email. I suspect this may also be the thunderbird issue, I can try that client next post to d-d-a and see exactly how to get it pushed through. Many thanks to you, Philipp Kern, Paul Wise, and to Rince of the listmaster@.d.o team. Be well, -Donald OpenPGP_signature Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hi Philipp!

Thanks for posting this, but it looks like you crafted this email as a reply, which means it got automatically redirected to d-d and not posted to d-d-a. We have re-posted to the proper list. The error was attempting to keep the formatting that was done by another team member for the email. So the 'forward' was a 'reply', and here we are. The actual issue was, as you pointed out, replies get pushed to d-d, so the reply to the initial email kicked to d-d. I was completely unaware of that email reply measure, this is actual my 1st post to that and I think(?) this list. No excuses, just explaining and fixing. The new attempt is a fresh email to d-d-a via cut and paste from the original email with the 1 correction that was needed.

Misc Developer News (#59)
The news are collected on https://wiki.debian.org/DeveloperNews Please contribute short news about your work/plans/subproject. In this issue: + britney option enabled to look at tests.reproducible-builds.org + reportbug and ftp.d.o/release.d.o/wnpp pseudo-packages + non-free-firmware is now autobuilt + reform.debian.net + new sparc64 porterbox britney option enabled to look at tests.reproducible-builds.org --- Paul Gevers has enabled a no-penalty-no-gain reproducibility option for amd64/arm64/i386/armhf in the migration software, which means that data from the Overview of various statistics about reproducible builds[1] is collected but causes neither migration bonuses nor blocks migration yet. The information only results are visible on https://release.debian.org/britney/update_excuses.html[2] as well as on individual packages pages on the Debian Package Tracker[3]. -- Holger Levsen [1] https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian [2] https://release.debian.org/britney/update_excuses.html [3] https://tracker.debian.org reportbug and ftp.d.o/release.d.o/wnpp pseudo-packages -- The reportbug tool now has some features that are useful when filing requests against the pseudo-packages ftp.debian.org, release.debian.org and wnpp. It now sets the usertag for ftp.debian.org removal requests (override requests already had this). This is so that they are automatically categorised correctly on the bug listing. It now sets affects[4] and X-Debbugs-CC[5] on bugs against pseudo-packages that are related to a real package in the archive; including ftp.debian.org, release.debian.org and wnpp bugs (wnpp bugs only had affects before). This is so that maintainers, package tracker subscribers and folks viewing the bug lists for packages can see them. Please consider using reportbug for filing removal or wnpp bugs so that these things are done automatically for you. Some examples of the headers it sets are listed below. If you have bug templates of your own for these issues, please update them to include the correct pseudo-headers. Please note that reportbug supports sending bugs via your normal mail client[6] using xdg-email (available since bullseye), or via a specific mail client[7] too.

If you are a DD and interested in helping out with license reviews, please contact the same email address. -- Philipp Kern [8] https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#non-free-buildd reform.debian.net - Owners of a MNT Reform open hardware laptop[9] can now set up their machine using OpenPGP signed packages built for Debian stable (Bookworm) instead of using unsigned packages for unstable from the official MNT repositories. In addition to the apt repository[10] containing the Bookworm kernel with required patches on top, reform.debian.net provides system images[11] which boot directly into a full Desktop as well as Debian installer netboot images[12] patched with the custom kernel required for the Reform. This service is for the MNT Reform what raspi.debian.net is for the Raspberry Pi. Many thanks go to the debian.net team for providing an ARM64 machine that builds the packages and images and hosts the website. Head over to reform.debian.net[13] for more information.
