  • Upcoming bullseye release is Aug 14, 2021
    • (Agenda Item) Make sure we don't lag behind Debian
      • (Notes) It looks like we ship up to date packages (a few known packages are marked read, but not an issue)
        • (Agenda Item) Check our patches are up-to-date (in particular Purism's ones) and fully functional
        • (Notes) One package a-wai wants updated: g-c-c due to Purism's patches - Undef
        • (Agenda Item) Rebase on recent upstream release if required/highly beneficial
          • (Agenda Item) Which packages should be considered?
          • (Notes) GTK4 will require a lot of work, so we would prefer to avoid that
          • (Notes) Megapixels and gnome-authenticator require GTK4
          • (Agenda Item) phosh? (=> new phoc => new wlroots => breaks sway)

          • (Notes) Not going to do
          • (Agenda Item) mesa? (fixes an issue with puremaps, but quite a big piece to maintain)
          • (Outcome) We are not going to maintain the out of tree programs for Bullseye, instead, we will move to bookworm as our baseline
  • (Agenda Item) Look at moving to Bookworm instead of maintaining Bullseye
    • (Notes) This will be the path forward!
    • (Notes) Create new repo based on Unstable
    • (Notes) Rename Repo to "bookworm" or something similar
  • (Notes) Snapshots?
    • (Notes) Snapshots can provide us timestamp archive to suggest user to use, so we know it works
    • How much effort is snapshots?
      • (Notes) Federico3 -> use existing snapshots!

      • (Notes) This looks like it is feasible, it is more of a function of pointing our sources.list to the right place
      • (Agenda Item) Maybe an additional round of reviews for Mobian-only packages? (kernel, device + global tweaks, metapackages...)
        • (Notes) TODO: Can someone other than a-wai look at this? Device specific packages are a big one..... (devrtz can take a look at some metapackages)
  • (Agenda Item) Mobian roadmap:
    • (Agenda Item) "Rebasing" on testing/bookworm
      • (Notes) Addressed earlier, we are moving to testing/bookworm
    • (Agenda Item) How to support bullseye (if we support it at all)
      • (Notes) Addressed earlier, we are going to drop Bullseye
    • (Agenda Item) Infrastructure needs/thoughts/room for improvement
      • (Notes) Improvement to build server/auto migration!
      • (Agenda Item) Bugs/missing features we should address before the release
      • (Agenda Item) Mailing list? Comments on HN / integration with Debian (gitlab, wiki, etc)
        • (Notes) Sounds like a mailing list is a good thing
          • (Notes) TODO: federico3 will work on it (I assume with a debian/org mailing domain?)
        • (Notes) Maybe look at some videos to post? linmob has some possibly, and they look pretty good.
    • (Agenda Item) Devices to support/levels of device support
    • (Agenda Item) Priorities of features we want to include/timeline to include them
      • (Notes) Have some sort of tiered approach for features/devices
      • (Notes) TODO: Look at debian Wiki and adding us to the Mobian/Debian wiki?
