A recent data point here is that Damien Miller (djm@) just committed a new OpenSSH Post-Quantum Cryptography FAQ page to the OpenSSH web site:

Anyway, the merge window did end up looking fairly healthy, despite me having to go through a couple of bisections for trouble spots (one during travels with a laptop - not optimal, but thankfully it was at least one of the "reliable symptoms that bisect right to the culprit" kind). The stats look pretty normal both in patch size and in number of commits.

In the end, 11,404 non-merge changesets found their way into the mainline during the merge window.

The Debian Project has released its latest stable version, Debian 13 ("trixie"), which will be supported through 2030. This release includes GNOME 48, KDE Plasma 6.3, Xfce 4.20, Linux 6.12, GCC 14.2, Python 3.13, and systemd 257.

This release contains over 14,100 new packages for a total count of 69,830 packages, while over 8,840 packages have been removed as "obsolete". 44,326 packages were updated in this release. The overall disk usage for "trixie" is 403,854,660 kB (403 GB), and is made up of 1,463,291,186 lines of code. [...]

With this broad selection of packages and its traditional wide architecture support, Debian once again stays true to its goal of being "The Universal Operating System". It is suitable for many different use cases: from desktop systems to netbooks; from development servers to cluster systems; and for database, web, and storage servers. At the same time, additional quality assurance efforts like automatic installation and upgrade tests for all packages in Debian's archive ensure that "trixie" fulfills the high expectations that users have of a stable Debian release.

Trixie adds riscv64 as an officially supported architecture, and drops i386 as a regular architecture. Users with i386 systems should not upgrade to trixie; the project recommends reinstalling them as amd64, or retiring the hardware. See the release notes and issues to be aware of before installing or upgrading to trixie.

In this case, it would appear that Nicholas Merrill, one of the founders of the project, has left for unclear reasons, and CalyxOS is responding by pausing all releases — and security updates — while its release process, signing keys, and security protocols are reworked. The result will be no updates for "four to six months". The project is recommending that its users "should uninstall the OS" and wait for an all-clear signal. CalyxOS may have its work cut out for it when the time comes to try to convince those users to come back.

Kirill's message to misc@ reads: Subject: Call for testing: USB webcams From: Kirill A. Korinsky <kirill () korins ! ky> Date: 2025-08-06 13:27:31 misc@, the latest snapshots for amd64 and arm64 (I haven't checked other architectures) include my recent changes to add support for H.264 streams from USB webcams.
