New packages in Debian 8.0 Jessie
[I liked the #newinwheezy effort for the last Debian release, so I tipped Mika off about it again this time]
A short post about what is #newinjessie, Debian’s new 8.0 Jessie release. See Mika’s debian-devel post for more information.
For this release cycle, I have uploaded two new packages:
- This is a new package which splits out the DVB initial scan files from linux-dvb-apps (see below). This is designed to make updating of the scan files easier.
- This is a new package which allows a Git client to read and write to Mercurial repositories. Previously provided as an example in the Git package until removed by upstream.
I’ve also have taken over as (co-)maintainer of some existing packages during this release cycle:
- New upstream snapshot, split out DVB initial scan files into dtv-scan-files package (see above), enable hardened buildflags.
I’ve updated nearly all of my existing packages during this release cycle:
- New upstream release, various packaging fixes.
- New upstream snapshot, add systemd service file, install dummy config file which resolves issues on certain upgrades.
- New upstream release, various packaging fixes.
- New upstream release; Nyancat now resizes to fix the terminal!
- New upstream release, support new versions of Transmission, various bug and packaging fixes.
- New upstream release, various bug and packaging fixes, fix FTBFS on arm64.
The following package received no updates during this release cycle due to a combination of no upstream releases and the existing package already being in good shape:
- figlet - Make large character ASCII banners out of ordinary text
I hope you find them useful. Enjoy!
