  • Re: Upcoming stable point release (12.6)

    Due to recent events, the point release has been postponed. A new date
    will be announced when possible.

    Given the centrality of xz, and standing that AFAIK the intricacies of
    the attack are not yet fully understood, should we expect a complete
    rebuild of the whole pool against an audited version? Maybe only the testing/sid/experimental pool?

    Thanks,
    Gian Piero.

    Release, Wanna-Build, DSA, Security and FTP Teams are in discussion what
    the best way forward is.

    The next point release for "bookworm" (the delayed 12.6 release) is
    scheduled for Saturday, 29th June 2024. Processing of new uploads
    into bookworm-proposed-updates will be frozen during the preceding
    weekend.

    The archive side of the point release has now finished, and an archive
    update is in progress, so packages should start appearing on mirrors in
    the next couple of hours or so.

    Regards,
