Yeah, Grandman uses Debian Sid too, but wanted to switch to Stable instead.

If you're using #Debian 13 and you're wondering why the `ping` command has stopped working for non-root users... `apt install linux-sysctl-defaults` will fix that for you.

My systemd-networking/firewalld experimenting in a VM now working nicely on the real machine; all that pretty much just worked - especially after I added a missing 'ConfigureWithoutCarrier=on' I'd made a note to do and then forgotten. The main gotcha was the #debian I'd debootsrapped not having the firmware files for the NIC that my internet connection went through.
I then t…

upgraded to #Debian #Trixie today.
Did not check if #VirualBox is compatible yet.
Now using #GnomeBoxes

I think #footiMac is nearing its limit for what I'm asking of it. Between Mastodon and being a nginx relay for three Youtube streams... it's disk access is running at 70-80% constantly.
I'm not sure that I can upgrade it internally in any way that would make a big difference.
Might be time to find a new hand-me-down computer to press into service!

When you see that a person with #Debian .org e-mail address is the maintainer of BLAS packages in #Gentoo: "what a nice collaboration…"
When you realize said person just took #GSoC money in 2019, and disappeared immediately afterwards: …

Right; mail server upgraded to #debian Trixie; I did it by recreating it in a local VM first; package install to match, and then tested a restore from my encrypted backups - which was a good exercise in its self. Then a dist-upgrade; fixing up Dovecot was the hairiest bit - they've randomly changed the name of a bunch of options. mail_location is now mail_driver/home/path/inbox_path and t…

There should be a policy that when a package provides multiple build systems for itself, and you're building it with #CMake, you should always remove all installed CMake files to make software developed on your platform portable.

According to #FreePG right now: #ArchLinux, #Debian, #Fedora, #NixOS and #Ubuntu. Now #Gentoo joins that list, except that instead of silently making intrusive patching on top of GnuPG, we provide it as a separate package (app-crypt/freepg), and mark appropriately:
$ gpg --version
gpg (GnuPG) 2.5.13-freepg

Another post on #Quansight PBC blog: "BLAS/LAPACK #packaging"
#BLAS and #LAPACK are the standard libraries for linear algebra. The original implementation, often called Netlib LAPACK, developed since the 1980s, nowadays serves primarily as the origin of the standard interface, the reference implementation and a conformance test suite. The end users usually use optimized implementations of the same interfaces. The choice ranges from generically tuned libraries such as OpenBLAS and BLIS, through libraries focused on specific hardware such as Intel® oneMKL, Arm Performance Libraries or the Accelerate framework on macOS, to ATLAS that aims to automatically optimize for a specific system.
The diversity of available libraries, developed in parallel with the standard interfaces, along with vendor-specific extensions and further downstream changes, adds quite a bit of complexity around using these libraries in software, and distributing such software afterwards. This problem entangles implementation authors, consumer software authors, build system maintainers and distribution maintainers. Software authors generally wish to distribute their packages built against a generically optimized BLAS/LAPACK implementation. Advanced users often wish to be able to use a different implementation, more suited to their particular needs. Distributions wish to be able to consistently build software against their system libraries, and ideally provide users the ability to switch between different implementations. Then, build systems need to provide the scaffolding for all of that.
I have recently taken up the work to provide such a scaffolding for the Meson build system; to add support for BLAS and LAPACK dependencies to Meson. While working on it, I had to learn a lot about BLAS/LAPACK packaging: not only how the different implementations differ from one another, but also what is changed by their respective downstream packaging. In this blog post, I would like to organize and share what I have learned.
