Apertis 17.03: distribution bootstrap
by Andrew Shadura 29 Nov '16

29 Nov '16

Hello everyone, Apertis 17.03 has been branched off yesterday. The repositories should be already available, packages should be building, Jenkins is being updated now and should soon be building both packages and images. Please note Apertis 17.03 is in the early development phase, and as changes land there packages may not be installable at all times. Please note master branches of Git repositories will now result in builds for/against 17.03; changes targeting 16.12 should go to 16.12 branches we have created in all repositories. -- Cheers, Andrew Shadura --- Collabora Ltd Kett House, Station Road, Cambridge CB1 2JH, United Kingdom https://www.collabora.com/

Git workflow updates
by Andrew Shadura 21 Oct '16

21 Oct '16

Hello everyone, As described in [0], we’ve been using specially formatted commit messages for a while now to automate closing and referring issues. Please try to follow the updated guidelines when submitting your contributions. To summarise the guidelines, Apertis issues referred in the commit messages are transferred into the package’s changelog when it’s updated using `gbp dch` tool. When the package is uploaded, apertis-qa-bot will automatically update the status of the issues in Phabricator as the package is built and installed into the images.

New Apertis 16.09 stable release available
by Emanuele Aina 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

Hello everyone, the new Apertis 16.09 stable release is now available! You can find the full release notes at https://wiki.apertis.org/16.09/ReleaseNotes Some highlights from this release: * Routing information sharing for navigation services Traprain is a new library introduced in Apertis 16.09 allowing navigation services to share routing information with third party applications. It enables applications to get the available routes to reach one or more destinations: for instance, with Traprain an application can request the routes to the nearby restaurants and sort them by estimated arrival time form the current location to help choosing the one to book. * Hardware accelerated support for Web contents Apertis 16.09 ships with readily available support for accelerating Web contents (CSS3 transforms and animations, WebGL scenes) using the GPU efficiently under Wayland. This means that you can navigate the modern Web even with limited CPU resources and run WebGL scenes fully unleashing the power of your GPU. Most of this work has been submitted upstream and we plan to submit the remaining optimizations soon. * Canterbury API for launching preferences A new API (org.apertis.Canterbury.AppDbHandler.LaunchAppPreferences) has been implemented to allow applications to launch their preferences in mildenhall-settings, including design and support work, and unit tests for the implementation in Canterbury. The full release notes contain more details about all the work that has been poured in this release: https://wiki.apertis.org/16.09/ReleaseNotes Images are already available for download at https://images.apertis.org/release/16.09/ Thanks to everyone who contributed! -- Emanuele Aina www.collabora.com

Fwd: Debian derivatives census: Apertis: welcome!
by Hector Oron 20 Jun '16

20 Jun '16

FYI -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Debian derivatives census: Apertis: welcome! Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2016 10:23:45 +0800 From: Paul Wise <pabs(a)debian.org> Organization: Debian To: Héctor Orón Martínez <hector.oron(a)collabora.co.uk> CC: debian-derivatives <debian-derivatives(a)lists.debian.org> Hi Hector, I would like to welcome yourself and Apertis to the Debian derivatives census! Would you like to take this opportunity to introduce Apertis to us all? https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/Apertis I would encourage you to look at Debian's guidelines for derivatives: https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Guidelines You may want to look at our census QA page, some of the mails from there may apply to Apertis. https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/CensusQA You don't appear to be subscribed to the Apertis census page, I've made a few changes to the Apertis census page: https://wiki.debian.org/Derivatives/Census/Apertis?action=info I note that Apertis is based on Ubuntu. Are you planning on a transition to being based on Debian? Some of the Release files in the apt repository for Apertis are missing the Valid-Until header, which allows clients to find out when active network attackers are holding back newer Release files. At minimum, rolling releases and suites containing security updates should have this header. With reprepro you can use the ValidFor config option. https://wiki.debian.org/RepositoryFormat#Date.2CValid-Until There doesn't appear to be a Apertis blog or a blog aggregator for Apertis developers. If these existed they would be syndicated on Planet Debian derivatives and would help the Debian community find out the things that are happening in Apertis. I guess most of the Apertis folks are already Debian developers and have blogs on Planet Debian anyway. http://planet.debian.org/deriv/ I'll see you at DebConf16! I guess we will hear more about Apertis during the derivatives panel or a talk or lightning talk. http://debconf16.debconf.org/ Thanks to Collabora (the Apertis corporate sponsor) for their generous sponsorship of the annual Debian conference. https://debconf16.debconf.org/sponsors/ I would encourage any attendees to volunteer to ensure the continued the success of the annual Debian conference, here are some examples of things that need helpers. https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf13/VolunteerCoordination I note there is a Debian pure blend related automotive applications being worked on, have you considered collaborating with them? https://wiki.debian.org/Automotive I note that Apertis uses Xfce, I would encourage you to provide feedback and fixes to the Debian Xfce team. https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianXfceGroup You might want to consider adding DNSSEC and TLSA records to your domains. You might also want to add HSTS headers. Please feel free to circulate this mail within the Apertis team. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
