[$] Debating ifupdown replacements for Debian trixie

1 év óta

Debian does not have an official way to configure networking. Instead, it has four recommended ways to configure networking, one of which is the venerable ifupdown, which has been part of Debian since the turn of the century and is showing its age. A conversation about its maintainability and possible replacement with ifupdown‑ng has led to discussions about the default network-management tools for Debian "trixie" (Debian 13, which is expected in 2025) and beyond. No route to consensus has been found, yet.

[$] A mess in the Python community

1 év óta
The Python community has been roiled, to a certain extent, by an action taken by the steering council (SC): the three-month suspension of a unnamed—weirdly—Python core developer. Tim Peters is the developer in question, as he has acknowledged, though it could easily be deduced from the SC message. Peters has been involved in the project from its early days and, among many other things, is the author of PEP 20 ("The Zen of Python"). The suspension was due to violations of the project's code of conduct that stem from the discussion around a somewhat controversial set of proposed changes to the bylaws for the Python Software Foundation (PSF) back in mid-June.
