In light of all the recent PHP fixing that happened last week, the RelEng team would like to get feedback on the following proposal to change the default PHP module in Rocky Linux 8.10 from 7.2 to 7.4. Please review and we look forward to hearing from you.

Xfce Developer Roadmap for 4.22 release has been updated.

https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/4.22/roadmap

No firm dates have been specified yet; but, we're tentatively looking at a mid-December/early January release depending on dev availability/bug-squashing progress.

This can be inferred because the slopped vuln is fully mitigated by the config change, while PHP releng has confirmed the real vuln has no config file mitigation.

Given that HERE shows "Gulf of America", I'd assume they are just that far behind on their GNIS processing pipeline. (disclaimer: I used to work for HERE and "improving terrible data pipelines" was a full time job for several of my coworkers; I mostly did releng on the search engine :-)

(When I wasn't doing releng/operating system stuff, I worked a level or two up from that - figuring out why Zurich was across the river (turns out there are 4 or 5 things that Zurich can be, with different centroids) for example. )

With the mention of Linux I appear. (Not convince, just info)

Without a USB there are two reliable ways to boot Linux. #1 is as you suggest, a disk. Most distros can be booted from dvd.

#2 scares the shit out of me but you can netboot arch via wired connection. archlinux.org/releng/netbo...

Finally launched rule3.org - a bunch of essays on doing software development in startups, finally writing down a bunch of my "technical adventure" storytelling. (I wouldn't call it general interest, but if you find yourself having to explain code review or releng, you might find this useful...)

There isn't a releng/15.1 branch yet; when that branch is made it will be taken from stable/15. It's scheduled to happen on Friday.

The stable/N branch always has next-release code except during the production of said next release.
