The new pipeline is much faster and easier to manage. * The feedback from OBS builds is now integrated with GitLab CI uploads The build log when uploading packages to OBS is now captured as part of the GitLab CI pipeline: developers can now find all the information they need about their package uploads in a single place. * Emulated OBS package builds on Intel x86-64 proof-of-concept Support for building ARM and ARM64 packages on Intel x86-64 machines is being worked on and has shown some interesting potential at this early stage. * Website reorganization The contents on https://apertis.org website have been massively reorganized to make them more relevant and easier to find. * Trusted zones with OP-TEE document A new document describes how the OP-TEE trusted computing platform can be integrated into Apertis. * OSS compliance document This new document describes the workflow to collect licensing data for each package and emit bill-of-materials for each generated image. * Project-wide dashboard A new dashboard helps with the maintenance of the project, providing an overview of its global health.

Simplification of Apertis mailing lists
by Martyn Welch 01 Sep '20

01 Sep '20

As part of on going efforts to streamline and improve the Apertis infrastructure we have been evaluating the mailing lists provided by the Apertis project. The overwhelming majority of the discussions relating to Apertis are no longer carried out via email. As a result it has been a number of years since any traffic has been recorded on the maintainers and packagers lists and the monthly traffic on the testing and devel lists has dropped to single digits. With this in mind we have decided to merge the mailing lists. We have transferred any users signed up to the testing, maintainers and packagers mailing lists over to the devel list and will be closing the aforementioned lists. Those that have been unaware of their continued presence on these mailing lists and who wish to unsubscribe can do so from the mailman interface: https://lists.apertis.org/listinfo/devel Thank you for your continued interest in the Apertis project, Martyn
