The release includes mobile images based on Phosh 46.0 and Plasma Mobile 6.3, with a 6.12 kernel for most supported devices. ### Source excerpt A little more than 2 months after Debian, we're finally releasing Mobian Trixie as our new stable release! We're also taking this opportunity to start rotating the PGP/GPG keys we're using for signing both our images and package archive. Trixie has landed! Over 2 years in the making, and with a small delay following the Debian release, we're proud to finally announce Mobian Trixie has just been released and is therefore our new stable! This release offers images based on Phosh 46.0 and Plasma Mobile 6.3, running a 6.12 kernel for almost all supported devices (the Librem 5 is still using a 6.6 kernel), the list of which is growing as we now provide stable images for the following phones and tablets: PINE64 PinePhone, PinePhone Pro and PineTab Purism Librem 5 Google Pixel 3a and 3a XL OnePlus 6 and 6T Xiaomi Pocophone F1 Trixie images are also available for the following devices, although important hardware features (such as e.g. WiFi or audio) are not working: Fairphone 4 and 5 PINE64 PineTab 2 SHIFT6mq Please check our installation instructions and download the image for your device. Upgrade procedure Although we do our best to provide a smooth upgrade path for each Mobian release, as a downstream Debian derivative, and the mobile software stack being a quickly moving target, major Mobian upgrades are usually trickier than we'd hoped for. This time is no exception, and therefore we highly recommend that you backup all your personal data, flash your device with a fresh Trixie image, then restore your files. If you feel brave enough to go the "manual upgrade" route, here are a few tricks you should know: keep your device plugged to a power source: such an upgrade can be a rather long process, you don't want to run out of battery half-way there! backup all your personal data really, we mean it: backup all your personal data! install openssh-server and execute the entire upgrade process over SSH (and preferrably using screen or a similar tool, so the upgrade can carry o ## postmarketOS v24.06 adds more device ports to the stable release DevFeed: [postmarketOS v24.06 adds more device ports to the stable release]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Published: 2024-06-16T00:00:00Z Content type: release Language: en Sources: [postmarketOS Blog]() Topics: [Linux](), [Mobile](), [Software](), [Testing](), [User Interfaces](), [free software](), [Website](), [Server]() Tags: [free-software](), [linux](), [mobile](), [polish](), [postmarketos](), [release](), [software](), [stable](), [testing](), [ui](), [web-server]() ### AI overview The postmarketOS v24.06 release adds most previously bleeding-edge device ports to the stable release, while continuing work on stability and automated testing. ### Source excerpt This release is geared mainly towards Linux enthusiasts. We are working hard on stability improvements and automated testing, but if you expect Android or iOS levels of polish, then this is not for you yet. Introduction People are interested in running Linux on their devices for various reasons. We don't force you to set up an account on first boot. You are not urged to store all your private data in a cloud that you don't control. We don't pre-install or recommend software that tries to extract as much attention or money from you as possible. We don't follow AI hype trends that violate your privacy even further, implemented at the cost of a high environmental impact. What we do believe in is free software, giving you control over your device, and allowing you to use it way past the original vendor's support cycle! From Arne's Mastodon thread. Thank you for letting us show this in the release blog post! On the note of upcycling, we had a lot of device ports in postmarketOS for a long time that could only be accessed through the bleeding edge version. But for the first time with v24.06, we have added most of them to the stable release. With a lot of them you can only barely boot Linux, but still it allows for some amazing use-cases: i'm really excited to show https://compost.party to the world! it's a web server running on an old, broken phone, getting energy from the sun using one of those portable solar chargers that you may also have lying around. it's a real oddity and a real beauty Software Stack As always we target the most recent Alpine release. In case of v24.06 it is the excellent Alpine Linux 3.20. User Interfaces (UIs) GNOME Shell on Mobile 45_git20240610 replaces 45_git20230908 from v23.12. This version allows triggering the keyboard with double-tap on the bottom bar, and it has a new scheduling manager that improves UI smoothness. Thanks to @verdre, @azisu and all the GNOME contributors! KDE Plasma Mobile 6.0.5 replaces version 5.27.10 from v23.12.

It describes how to switch to the staging repository and distinguish packages from Mobian and Debian. ### Source excerpt Most of us just want their phone to be working. But some like to be more on the edge of things, trying out the newest bugsfeatures. The recently announced staging distribution allows users to do just that. Read further to learn its purpose and how to enable it. Mobian is an overlay over the regular Debian bullseye repository. Its package source is configured in /etc/apt/sources.list with a single line: deb http://deb.debian.org/debian bullseye main. 1 Currently the (relatively) stable Mobian overlay is configured in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mobian.list containing the following: deb http://repo.mobian.org/ bullseye main non-free If you had flashed your device with an image older than April 26th, 2021, you may have a file named /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extrepo_mobian.sources instead, containing the following: Types: deb Architectures: amd64 arm64 armhf Uris: http://repo.mobian.org/ Suites: mobian Components: main non-free Signed-By: /var/lib/extrepo/keys/mobian.asc Recently we introduced Mobian staging, in which we include packages that are pretty new and/or might need a bit more testing. Mobian staging is a full Mobian repository, so it includes everything that the "normal" repository includes and a bit more (and some packages a bit newer). By switching to it, you agree to name your firstborn Debian and to never eat cookies again after 3pm! So think twice before you do it! The easiest way you can switch to using this repository is by simply changing the word bullseye to staging in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mobian.list, or the line Suites: mobian to Suites: staging in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/extrepo_mobian.sources. This way, you will be getting all your Mobian packages from https://repo.mobian.org/dists/staging instead of https://repo.mobian.org/dists/mobian. Some of the packages you install will be from the staging Mobian repo and most will be coming directly and unmodified from one of the Debian mirrors. How do I find out if a package comes from Debian or Mobian?

The article also explains using feature branches with squashed or rebased changesets to support cleaner history and continuous deployment. ### Source excerpt "There is no way to do CVS right." - Linus FINN is migrating from subversion to the ever trendy git. We've waited years for it to happen, here we'll try to highlight why and how we are doing it. Working together There's no doubt that git gives us a cleaner way of working on top of each other. Wherever you promote peer review you need a way of working with changesets from one computer to the next without having to commit to and via the trunk where everyone is affected. Creating custom branches comes with too much (real or perceived) overhead, so the approach at best falls to throwing patches around. Coming away from a pair-programming session it's better when developers go back to their own desk with such a patch so they can work on it a bit more and finish it properly with tests, docs, and a healthy dose of clean coding. It properly entitles them as the author rather than appearing as if someone else took over and committed their work. Git's decentralisation of repositories provides the cleaner way by replacing these patches with private repositories and its easy to use branches. Individual productivity Git improves the individual's productivity with benefits of stashing, squashing, reseting, and rebasing. A number of programmers for a number of years were already on the bandwagon using git-svn against our subversion repositories. This was real proof of the benefits, given the headaches of git-svn (can't move files and renaming files gives corrupted repositories) With Git, work is encouraged to be done on feature branches and merged in to master as complete (squashed/rebased) changesets with clean and summarised commit messages. This improves efforts towards continuous deployment due to a more stable HEAD. Rolling back any individual feature regardless of its age is a far more manageable task. By squashing all those checkpoint commits we typically make we get more meaningful, contextual, and accurate commit messages.

The article describes a move toward shorter release cycles to maintain a more stable development tree and highlights changes including registry support, SSE/SSE2 support, new Plug and Play drivers, updated Wine usermode DLLs, and updated RPC and IDL support. ### Source excerpt ReactOS 0.3.4 Released We are pleased to announce the release of the next version of ReactOS in the 0.3 series. This is a culmination of the last 3 months of development, and some significant progress has been made in various areas. Release cycle Starting from version 0.3.3 we have aimed to move our release cycle to a 2 month period. There are various reasons for this, but the two which are key to this decision is a desire to keep the main development tree in a stable condition, and an effort to keep up the interests of the people who follow the project, by providing regular release builds to play with.
