Linus has released
6.4-rc5 for testing.
Nothing particularly strange here, most notable is probably just
the quick revert of the module loading trial that caused problems
for people in rc4 depending on just random timing luck (or rather,
lack there-of). So if you tried rc4, and some devices randomly
didn't work for you, that was likely the issue.

Red Hat's Matthias Clasen has
let
it be known that LibreOffice will be dropped from a future Red Hat
Enterprise Linux release, and the future of its support in Fedora is
unclear as well.
The Red Hat Display Systems team (the team behind most of Red Hat’s
desktop efforts) has maintained the LibreOffice packages in Fedora
for years as part of our work to support LibreOffice for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. We are adjusting our engineering priorities for
RHEL for Workstations and focusing on gaps in Wayland, building out
HDR support, building out what’s needed for color-sensitive work,
and a host of other refinements required by Workstation users. This
is work that will improve the workstation experience for Fedora as
well as RHEL users, and which, we hope, will be positively received
by the entire Linux community.
The tradeoff is that we are pivoting away from work we had been
doing on desktop applications and will cease shipping LibreOffice
as part of RHEL starting in a future RHEL version. This also limits
our ability to maintain it in future versions of Fedora.

As the
2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management and BPF Summit neared its conclusion, two sessions
were held in the memory-management track on process-oriented topics. Mike
Rapoport ran a session on memory-management documentation (or the lack
thereof), while Andrew Morton talked about the state of the subsystem's
development process in general. Both sessions were relatively brief and did
not foreshadow substantial changes to come.

Version
1.70.0 of the Rust language is out. Changes include enabling the
"sparse" protocol for Cargo, a couple of new types for the initialization
of shared data, and more. "You should see substantially improved
performance when fetching information from the crates.io index."

Like most other distributions, the Debian project decided to end the
separation between the root and /usr filesystems years ago.
Unlike most others, though, Debian is still working on the implementation
of this decision. The upcoming Debian 12 ("bookworm") release will
feature a merged /usr in most respects, but there are a couple of
nagging issues that threaten to stretch this transition out for some time
yet.

A new version of
NixOS, which is a Linux
distribution based on the
Nix package
manager, has been released:
NixOS 23.05
is now available. The
release
notes list numerous updates, including Nix 2.13, Linux 6.1,
glibc 2.37,
Cinnamon 5.6, GNOME 44, and KDE Plasma 5.27.
The 23.05 release was made possible due to the efforts of
1867
contributors, who authored
36566 commits since the previous
release.
Our thanks go the contributors who also take care of the continued
stability and security of our stable release.
NixOS is already known as the most up to date distribution while also being
the
distribution with the most packages. This release saw 16240 new
packages and 13524 updated packages in Nixpkgs. We also
removed 13466
packages in an effort to keep the package set maintainable and secure.
In addition to packages the NixOS distribution also features modules and
tests that make it what it is. This release brought 282 new modules and
removed 183. In that process we added 2882 options and removed 728.

David Malcolm
writes
about a number of new features that have been added to the static
analyzer in the GCC 13 release.
The above example makes the common mistake with C-style strings of
forgetting the null terminator when computing how much space to
allocate for str.
GCC 13's -fanalyzer option now keeps track of the sizes of
dynamically allocated buffers, and for many cases it checks the
simulated memory reads and writes against the sizes of the relevant
buffers. With this new work it detects the above problem.

Martin Petersen and John Garry led a session at the
2023 Linux Storage, Filesystem,
Memory-Management and BPF Summit on work they have been doing to
implement atomic block writes of various sizes for SCSI and NVMe.
The idea is to support devices that can guarantee atomic operations for
sizes larger than their block size.
It is
an attempt to "find
common ground" between the two standards, Petersen said, because the two
have slightly different semantics, depending on the device type, and
different restrictions, which has made for an "interesting project". It has
been a challenge to find an abstraction layer that can work with the "five
different variants
of SCSI and NVMe implementations that may or may not be out there".
