In a series of commits, Anthony J Bentley (bentley@) modified the system so that font caching runs as dedicated (unprivileged) user, "_fc-cache".

fc-cache(1) has been using pledge(2) since May.

Version 0.50.0 of Hyprland, a compositor for Wayland, has been released. Changes include a new render-scheduling option that "can drastically improve FPS on underpowered devices, while coming at no performance or latency cost when the system is doing alright", an option to exclude applications from screen sharing, a new test suite, and more.

Linux users who have Secure Boot enabled on their systems knowingly or unknowingly rely on a key from Microsoft that is set to expire in September. After that point, Microsoft will no longer use that key to sign the shim first-stage UEFI bootloader that is used by Linux distributions to boot the kernel with Secure Boot. But the replacement key, which has been available since 2023, may not be installed on many systems; worse yet, it may require the hardware vendor to issue an update for the system firmware, which may or may not happen. It seems that the vast majority of systems will not be lost in the shuffle, but it may require extra work from distributors and users.

Fedora's NeuroFedora special-interest group (SIG) is considering a change of strategy when it comes to packaging Python modules. The SIG, which consists of three active members, is struggling to keep up with maintaining the hundreds of packages that it has taken on. What's more, it's not clear that the majority of packages are even being consumed by Fedora users; the group is trying to determine the right strategy to meet its goals and shed unnecessary work. If its new packaging strategy is successful, it may point the way to a more sustainable model for Linux distributions to provide value to users without trying to package everything under the sun.

Security updates have been issued by Oracle (cloud-init, emacs, firefox, glib2, go-toolset:rhel8, kernel, lz4, python-setuptools, python3.11-setuptools, python3.12-setuptools, and socat), Red Hat (fence-agents, glib2, glibc, java-17-openjdk, kernel, kernel-rt, python-setuptools, python3.11-setuptools, and python3.12-setuptools), Slackware (libxml2), SUSE (glib2, gpg2, kernel, libxml2, poppler, rmt-server, runc, stalld, and xen), and Ubuntu (jpeg-xl).

Software in the Public Interest has released its annual report for 2024. It includes reports from the long list of projects housed under the SPI umbrella, but the financial statements are not included at this time.

Loadable kernel modules require access to kernel data structures and functions to get their job done; the kernel provides this access by way of exported symbols. Almost since this mechanism was created, there have been debates over which symbols should be exported, and how. The 6.16 kernel gained a new export mechanism that limits access to symbols to specific kernel modules. That code is likely to change soon, but the addition of an enforcement mechanism has since been backed out.
