Containerized Debian package builds, artifact diffs, and automated maintenance, test running, new upstream imports and more. If you previously struggled with .deb work, this might make things a lot easier now.

MariaDB’s new AppArmor profile is now enforcing in Debian unstable and heading to Ubuntu 26.04. If you are a dba/sysadmin, check your logs and share feedback via the Debian bug tracker.

It's an open source venture backed by $35M from FirstMark Capital, Spark Capital, and GV (Google Ventures). It's a drop-in replacement for MySQL with an extension architecture. See their native UUID extension with efficient 16-byte storage as an example.

Depends entirely on the app and use case. For apps that expect PostgreSQL probably Yugabyte, and for apps that expect MySQL probalby TiDB.

Thanks!

Git is the industry standard for software development, but I thasn’t been fully adopted in Debian packaging yet. Debian development is still based on uploading tarballs via FTP.

I believe that git-based workflows could enhance collaboration, transparency, and productivity for one of the world’s most vital open source projects. Increasing the use of salsa.debian.org, Debian's GitLab instance, would be a good step towards collaborative git usage.

This is the upstream source control. The article talks about the Debian packaging source not being in git (on e.g. salsa.debian.org).
