Topics covered in this issue include:<br /><br /> * Perl team sprint<br /> * New documentation guides on the Debian website<br /> * Bits from the DPL<br /> * Help rescuing Debian Live Rescue<br /> * Debian switches to FFmpeg for multimedia packages<br /> * Reproducible builds funded by the Linux Foundation<br /> * Transition to GCC5 and libstdc++6<br /> * Report from Google Summer of Code students<br /> * Long Term Support reports<br /> * Tips and Tricks<br /> * Other news<br /> * New Debian Contributors<br /> *
Important Debian Security Advisories<br /> * New and noteworthy packages<br /> * Work-needing packages<br /> * Want to continue reading DPN?<br /><br /><br />Perl team sprint<br />----------------<br /><br />The Debian Perl team had its first sprint [1] in May, and it was a<br />success: seven members met in Barcelona over the weekend from May 22 to<br />May 24 to kick off Perl development for Stretch and to work on QA tasks<br />across the more than 3000 packages that the team maintains. Find all the<br />details in the sprint report [2].<br /><br /> 1: <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2015/DebianPerlSprint">https://wiki.debian.org/Sprints/2015/DebianPerlSprint</a><br /> 2: <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2015/07/msg00009.html">https://lists.debian.org/debian-perl/2015/07/msg00009.html</a><br /><br /><br />New documentation guides on the Debian website<br /><hr /><br /><br />On his blog, Osamu Aoki announced [3] some updates to Debian<br
/>documentation. Having created the debmake [4] helper script to produce<br />Debian source packages, to take into account new packaging best<br />practices, he has rewritten the Debian Maintainers' Guide from scratch,<br />available in the debmake-doc [5] package. Meanwhile, the Debian<br />Handbook [6] is now also available from the Debian website [7]. This<br />version is built automatically from the corresponding package [8] in<br />Debian unstable. This is also the case for the documentation from<br />debmake-doc [9] and more generally for other debian-doc related<br />packages [10].<br /><br /> 3: <a href="http://goofying-with-debian.blogspot.ru">http://goofying-with-debian.blogspot.ru</a>/<br /> 4: <a href="https://packages.debian.org/sid/debmake">https://packages.debian.org/sid/debmake</a><br /> 5: <a href="https://packages.org/sid/debmake-doc">https://packages.org/sid/debmake-doc</a><br /> 6: <a

If you are interested in<br />helping with the Debian Live rescue image, contact the #debian-live IRC<br />channel on <a href="http://irc.debian.org">irc.debian.org</a>, or send an email to Debian Live mailing<br />list [15].<br /><br /> 14: <a

The Debian Multimedia team announced [18]<br />that after a careful review [19], they have decided to switch back to<br />FFmpeg, and will do their best to finish the transition for the next<br />stable release, Debian Stretch.<br /><br /> 16: <a href="https://ffmpeg.org">https://ffmpeg.org</a>/<br /> 17: <a href="https://libav.org">https://libav.org</a>/<br /> 18: <a

have become reproducible.<br /><br /> 20: <a href="https://www.coreinfrastructure.org">https://www.coreinfrastructure.org</a>/<br /> 21: <a href="http://www.linuxfoundation.org/news-media/announcements/2015/06/linux-foundation-s-core-infrastructure-initiative-funds-three-new">http://www.linuxfoundation.org/news-media/announcements/2015/06/linux-foundation-s-core-infrastructure-initiative-funds-three-new</a><br /> 22: <a href="https://bits.debian.org/2015/06/reproducible-builds-funded-by-cii.html">https://bits.debian.org/2015/06/reproducible-builds-funded-by-cii.html</a><br /> 23: <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds">https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds</a><br /> 24: <a href="https://people.debian.org/~lunar/blog/posts/reproducible_builds_stretch_week_7">https://people.debian.org/~lunar/blog/posts/reproducible_builds_stretch_week_7</a>/<br /> 25: <a

Bugs were filed for<br />packages failing to build from source [30]
with the new GCC version, and<br />for those where investigation is needed [31], to see if the transition<br />to the new libstdc++ affects them. Details of the transition can be<br />found on the dedicated Debian wiki page [32].<br /><br /> 29: <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/07/msg00000.html">https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2015/07/msg00000.html</a><br /> 30: <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=ftbfs-gcc-5;users=debian-gcc@lists.debian.org">https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=ftbfs-gcc-5;users=debian-gcc@lists.debian.org</a><br /> 31: <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=libstdc%2B%2B-cxx11;users=debian-gcc@lists.debian.org">https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=libstdc%2B%2B-cxx11;users=debian-gcc@lists.debian.org</a><br /> 32: <a href="https://wiki.debian.org/GCC5">https://wiki.debian.org/GCC5</a><br /><br /><br />Report from Google Summer of Code
students<br /><hr /><br /><br />Yuru Roy Shao, mentored by Ritesh Raj Sarraf [33], is working on Apport<br />integration in Debian. Yuru posted a report [34] on the new features he<br />implemented: uniqueness of the apport-notifyd notification daemon<br />instance, installation of debug symbols, use of the system APT cache to<br />avoid downloading packages twice, and Debian BTS integration. Orestis<br />Ioannou also sent an update [35] on the work he has done on a new web<br />application, the copyright tracker, as part of the Debsources project.<br /><br /> 33: <a href="http://www.researchut.com/blog/gsoc-apport-for-debian">http://www.researchut.com/blog/gsoc-apport-for-debian</a><br /> 34: <a href="http://blog.yurushao.info/2015/07/Debian-Apport-GSoC">http://blog.yurushao.info/2015/07/Debian-Apport-GSoC</a>/<br /> 35: <a href="http://oioannou.com/2015/blog/gsoc-updates">http://oioannou.com/2015/blog/gsoc-updates</a>/<br /><br /><br />Long Term Support reports<br

Debian community shared some tips: Thomasz<br />Buchert explained [41] how to tag emails which haven't been replied to,<br />using notmuch [42]. Simon Josefsson explained [43] how to deal with SSH<br />Host Certificates with a YubiKey NEO. Julien Danjou published [44] on<br />his blog an article on the need to always consider timezone information<br />with any timestamp, and how to do that in Python. Sandro Tosi<br />explained [45] how to tweak the configuration of CFEngine [46] for<br />package upgrades, to deal with epochs [47] in Debian versions. Michael<br />Prokop noticed [48] on his blog that HAProxy causes random "Hash Sum<br />mismatch" errors with Debian Squeeze clients. A solution to this issue<br />was proposed in a comment by Petter Reinholdtsen.<br /><br /> 41: <a href="https://tomasz.buchert.pl/blog/2015/06/14/notmuch-response">https://tomasz.buchert.pl/blog/2015/06/14/notmuch-response</a><br /> 42: <a
