The FreeBSD Project is, for the second time this year, engaging in a long-running discussion about the possibility of including Rust in its base system. The sequel to the first discussion included some work by Alan Somers to show what it might look like to use Rust code in the base tree. Support for Rust code does not appear much closer to being included in FreeBSD's base system, but the conversation has been enlightening.

Today's crop of new stable kernels consists of seven new versions: 6.10.6, 6.6.47, 6.1.106, 5.15.165, 5.10.224, 5.4.282, and 4.19.320. As usual, each contains important fixes throughout the kernel tree.

Security updates have been issued by Debian (python-asyncssh), Fedora (bind, bind-dyndb-ldap, httpd, and tor), SUSE (cosign, cpio, curl, expat, java-11-openjdk, ncurses, netty, netty-tcnative, opera, python-Django, python-Pillow, shadow, sudo, and wpa_supplicant), and Ubuntu (firefox).

The Rust code being added to the kernel is documented using the usual rustdoc conventions; that documentation is now available on kernel.org in formatted form. There is also the linux-next version of the documentation for Rust code that will land in the kernel soon.

The fourth 6.11 kernel prepatch is out for testing. According to Linus:

But it all looks fairly normal. rc4 is bigger than either rc2 or rc3 were, but not hugely so, and it's actually a normal pattern, where it takes a while before people find some issues. So nothing feels all that odd.

The Gentoo Linux project has announced that it is dropping support for Itanium:

Following the removal of IA-64 (Itanium) support in the Linux kernel and glibc, and subsequent discussions on our mailing list, as well as a vote by the Gentoo Council, Gentoo will discontinue all ia64 profiles and keywords. The primary reason for this decision is the inability of the Gentoo IA-64 team to support this architecture without kernel support, glibc support, and a functional development box (or even a well-established emulator). In addition, there have been only very few users interested in this type of hardware.

Python has had formatted string literals (f-strings), a syntactic shorthand for building strings, since 2015. Recently, Jim Baker, Guido van Rossum, and Paul Everitt have proposed PEP 750 ("Tag Strings For Writing Domain-Specific Languages") which would generalize and expand that mechanism to provide Python library writers with additional flexibility. Reactions to the proposed change were somewhat positive, although there was a good deal of discussion of (and opposition to) the PEP's inclusion of lazy evaluation of template parameters.

Security updates have been issued by Fedora (389-ds-base, dotnet8.0, python3.13, roundcubemail, thunderbird, and tor), Mageia (roundcubemail), Oracle (.NET 8.0, bind and bind-dyndb-ldap, bind9.16, container-tools:ol8, edk2, firefox, gnome-shell, grafana, httpd:2.4, jose, kernel, krb5, mod_auth_openidc:2.3, orc, poppler, python-urllib3, python3.11-setuptools, thunderbird, and wget), Red Hat (kernel), SUSE (apptainer, curl, kernel, kernel-firmware, libqt5-qtbase, python-aiosmtpd, and ucode-intel), and Ubuntu (bind9, gnome-shell, libreoffice, and orc).

The kernel's memory-management developers have been busy in recent times; it can be hard to keep up with all that has been happening in this core area. In an attempt to catch up, here is a look at recent work affecting tiered-memory systems, underutilized huge pages, and duplicated file data in the Enhanced Read-Only Filesystem (EROFS).

Security updates have been issued by AlmaLinux (container-tools:rhel8), Debian (flatpak), Fedora (389-ds-base, dotnet8.0, and roundcubemail), Red Hat (bind9.16, firefox, python-setuptools, and thunderbird), Slackware (dovecot), SUSE (389-ds, curl, kernel, kernel-firmware, kubernetes1.25, openssl-1_1, openssl-3, python-Pillow, and zziplib), and Ubuntu (busybox, linux-azure, and ruby-rmagick).
