I ve been using Pyblosxom here for nearly 17 years, but have become
increasingly dissatisfied with having to write HTML instead of
Markdown.
Today I looked at upgrading my web server and discovered that
Pyblosxom was removed from Debian after Debian 10, presumably because
it wasn t updated for Python 3.
I keep hearing about Jekyll as a static site generator for blogs, so I
finally investigated how to use that and how to convert my existing
entries. Fortunately it supports both HTML and Markdown (and probably
other) input formats, so this was mostly a matter of converting
metadata.
I have my own crappy script for drafting, publishing, and listing
blog entries, which also needed a bit of work to update, but that is
now done.
If all has gone to plan, you should be seeing just one new entry in
the feed but all permalinks to older entries still working.
What's new in the Linux kernel. Apologies for the poor audio quality; I will use a different microphone if I do this again.
In March and April I worked a total of 28 hours for Freexian's
Debian LTS initiative, out of a maximum of 48 hours.
I updated the linux (4.19) package to the latest stable and
stable-rt updates, and uploaded it at the end of April. I merged
the latest bullseye security update into the linux-5.10 package and
uploaded that at the same time.
In January I was assigned 24 hours by Freexian's Debian LTS
initiative and worked 8 hours. In February I was assigned another 8
hours and worked 8 hours.
I updated the linux (4.19) package to the latest stable update, but
didn't upload it. I merged the latest bullseye security update into
the linux-5.10 package and uploaded that.
In December I was assigned 15 hours by Freexian's Debian LTS
initiative and carried over 9 hours from November. I worked
all of those hours.
I merged the latest bullseye point release into the linux-5.10
package, uploaded that, and issued
DLA-3244-1.
I also updated the linux (4.19) package to the latest stable and
and stable-rt versions, uploaded it, and issued
DLA-3245-1.
In November I was assigned 24 hours by Freexian's Debian LTS
initiative. I worked 9 of those hours and will carry over the
remainder.
I updated the linux (4.19) package to the latest stable update, but
didn't upload it. I attended the monthly LTS team meeting.
In October I was not assigned additional time by Freexian's Debian
LTS initiative, but carried over 9 hours from September and worked
all those hours.
I updated the linux (4.19) package to the latest stable update, but
didn't upload it. I merged the latest bullseye security update into
the linux-5.10 package, uploaded that, and issued
DLA-3173-1.
I have continued to work for Freexian on Debian LTS. In August I
carried over 21 hours from July, and worked 13 hours. In September
I was assigned an additional 17 hours, and worked 16 hours. I will
carry over 9 hours into October.
In August, Debian 10 "buster" entered LTS status. I spent some time
on the backport of Linux 5.10 for buster. While this previously
existed in buster-backports, further changes were required to add it
as an alternative kernel version in buster-security, particularly
around code signing. When that was complete, I issued
DLA-3102-1.
I also prepared and uploaded an update to the linux (4.19) package.
I issued
DLA-3131-1
for these changes.
In July I was assigned 24 hours of work by Freexian's Debian LTS
initiative. I worked 3 hours and will carry over the rest to
August.
In July, no Debian release was in LTS status. However, I spent some
time finishing the DLA text for my upload of linux at the end of
June. I also attended the LTS BoF at DebConf and the regular team
meeting.
Next.
