Hi, Christian! I highly appreciate all the work you've been doing. I'm very happy to see that there is a lot of development and community activity, and you are handling most of it :) I haven't been able to contribute in recent months, but I hope to resume some engagement in the foreseeable future. It's very useful to get short updates such as this one on the mailing list. Above all, it's great to see that a much-improved version has made it into Debian 13. Great work! Best :) Michael On 16.05.2025 10:31, c.buhtz@posteo.jp wrote:
Hello Folks, I just wanted to share a quick update on what's been happening in the project lately.
I'm not sure if anyone is monitoring the issues and pull requests (PR), but there has been a lot activity over the past few weeks. Most of the PRs where merged within less then one week. Usually, we have a rule to keep a PR open for at least one week to cool done. In my experience, this greatly improves their overall quality.
However, I shorten this period for some of the PRs because they where blocking others, and I tried to avoid merge conflicts.
The ongoing larger task, is improving the man page. But before refining the text, I focused on simplifying and making the command line interface (CLI) more consistent.
I reduced the number of commands from 17 to 10. I also adjusted some argument/flags. Renamed or removed commands and flags are still there for backwards compatibility. They are hidden in --help output but will trigger a deprecation warning when used. The plan is to fully remove them in two or three years, after the release of Debian 14.
That's all for now.
