  • move to salsa: TODO (roughly 60 projects on gitlab)
    • python3-gitlab can probably be leveraged to automate export and/or importing
    • repo setup https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/gitlab-rulez potentially helpful

    • That's on the list TODO....get to it this weekend? (a-wai has done some things)
  • u-boot-menu (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1012333)

    • We have a patch for config fragments that needs to be changed to debconf to be merged upstream.
    • MR rebasing our current patches on 4.1.0 available on gitlab.com/mobian1. Needs testing before we release.
  • Gnome-Software: Open a bug report requesting mobile support for software-properties-gtk (Used in Debian, not Mobian)
    • Latest version is from 2020.....and does not have mobile support.
    • See https://salsa.debian.org/pkgutopia-team/software-properties (upstream seems to be https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-properties)

    • Would be nice for it to be ported for mobile support (GTK4?)
    • devrtz should poke Tobias about design input
    • our only patch on gnome-software removes the software properties because it's not adaptive
  • puremaps packaging: Has anyone reached out to the KDE packaging team? ITP/RFP?
    • https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/puremaps-packaging (afaik no ITP/RTP yet - not checked if there are ITP/RFP for the dependencies)

  • Update megapixels
    • Bandwidth issue mainly....
    • devrtz will look into it (probably next few days during DC22)
  • Update tootle (latest tag is 2.0 alpha, we have 1.0 alpha)
    • There were some issues with dependencies.
  • Upload powersupply to Debian?
    • IIRC we needed a less generic name; agreed I'd propose powersupply-gtk (not fancy, but kind of explains what it does) or powersupply-mobile (depending on whether it's only useful for mobile)
    • kop316/a-wai: see if this works on their laptops?first testing by kop316 looked good, devrtz will also check on L14
  • Same with Numberstation
    • https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1004899

    • https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/numberstation/-/blob/debian/unstable/debian/copyright

    • "please mention the CC license of org.postmarketos.Numberstation.svg in your debian/coypright"
    • https://git.sr.ht/~martijnbraam/numberstation/tree/master

    • https://git.sr.ht/~martijnbraam/numberstation/tree/master/item/data/org.postmarketos.Numberstation.svg#L274

    • https://salsa.debian.org/DebianOnMobile-team/numberstation/-/merge_requests/1

    • devrtz will surely meet zigo @ DC22
  • Package phosh-antispam?
  • Can DMs upload NMUs (to DELAYED/XX?) https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1011712 => NO

    • have not (yet) gotten any email confirmation, and ftp://ftp.upload.debian.org/pub/UploadQueue/README speaks explicitly about DDs

    • ping once upload is rejected
  • any progress on Universal images and tweakster?
  • State of systemd user timers for gnome-clocks (https://pad.uni-hamburg.de/s/VlSduMhxt#)

    • Leave to Spaetz for now
  • Installer: install tow-boot as well?
    • There is not a current way to detect tow-boot
    • We need to boot before we install tow-boot, then we need a u-boot package, defeating the point
    • PPP: Next run will have tow-boot as default, simplifying things
    • Potential solution: pretty-up the download page and add basic instructions and links to it.
  • nginx directory listing template - Undef
    • prior attempt at having nicer pages: https://gitlab.com/mobian1/mobian-web/mobian-images

  • Should we drop OG PP and PPP images?
    • No definitive answer, keep status quo now
    • Installer takes time to test, which is why we keep images as backup
  • What (if anything) can we do about Calamares not wanting to maintain an ABI to build against (breaks the installer every few weeks)?
    • A longer term option: https://openqa.qubes-os.org/

    • There is https://openqa.debian.net/

      • Talk about it @ Debian Reunion Hamburg: https://hamburg-2022.mini.debconf.org/talks/8-how-to-write-new-tests-for-openqadebiannet/

    • Seconds after the meeting it looks like Calamares might be willing to support an ABI in the next version: https://github.com/calamares/calamares/pull/2002#issuecomment-1172896606 great!

  • Mobian on Nexus 5?
    • Seems work work well, but audio on calls and VoLTE doesn't work
    • Waiting for the swtich o salsa
  • 5.18 testing Anyone want to give them a run before release?
    • Post places to test?
