Welcome to this year's seventh issue of DPN, the newsletter for the
Debian community. Topics covered in this issue include:
Debian Project mourns the loss of Adrian von Bidder
The Debian Project lost Adrian
von Bidder, who was involved in Debian, represented the project
at numerous events and was one of the founding members and current
secretary of debian.ch.
He also founded the NTP
Pool
(crowd-sourced time synchronisation), which our project
has since fully adopted.
Upcoming changes for the Linux lernels on the i386 architecture
Ben Hutchings announced
some upcoming changes for the Linux kernels in the
i386 architecture (aka
32-Bit PC). The most notable change With the 2.6.39 kernel packages will be
the drop of the 686 flavour, even so it's the most widely used. Ben
explains, that there's only a very limited set of processors, which are not
able to use the 686-bigmem flavours, which has less limitations but
supports more that 4GB of RAM (and has some other benefits). He also
points out, that these processors not supported by the 686-bigmem flavour
seem run more performant with the 486 flavour. Without the
686 flavour, the 686-bigmem will also be renamed to
686-pae.
He also said, that the amd64 flavour will be droped, as soon as
migrationt from 32 Bit userland with 64 Bit kernel to a 64 Bit userland
with 64 But kernel is implemented and has been tested.
Before that, Ben also bloged about changes
introduced with 2.6.38 kernels. One change is the introduction of a user space daemon providing the
kernel with country specific regulations for wireless usage from a database database.

Further interviews
Since the last issue of the Debian Project News,
new issues of the This week in
Debian
podcast have been published: with
XXX, xxx; and with

There has also been
further People behind Debian
interviews: with
\
Meike Reichle, Press Officer and member of the Debian Women project; and with
, .
Other news
The xxth issue of the
miscellaneous news for developers
has been released and covers the following topics:
Alexander Reichle-Schmehl noted that repository used to draft this
newsletter has just seen it's 2000th
commit.
Tom Marble noted that,
according to popcon,
\
openjdk-6-jre installations on Debian surpassed \
sun-java6-jre.
Well done, OpenJDK Team!
Russel Coker bloged about Valid
Policies for Security Enhanced Linux (SE Linux).
After her recent
people behind Debian interview Press Officer Meike Reichle followed up
in her blog about What
it's like to do Debian Press Work
.
Jan Hauke Rahm called for help
for Debian's presence at the upcoming LinuxTag in Berlin.
Daniel Kahn Gillmor bloged about his experience with
the new systemd packages available for Debian sid
and
experimental
. While he agrees that systemd seems to get some
things right
, he's also a bit concerned about the Linux-centricism of
systemd and the general bloat
of it.
