Status update, August 2025

Due to the freeze I did not do that many uploads in the last few months, so there were various new releases I packaged once Trixie was released. Regarding the release of Debian 13, Trixie, I wrote a small summary of the changes in my packages.

I uploaded an unreleased version of cage to experimental, to prepare for the transition to wlroots-0.19. Both sway and labwc already had packages in experimental that depended on the new wlroots version. When the transition happened, I uploaded the cage version to unstable, as well as labwc 0.9.1 and sway 1.11.

I updated

  • foot to 1.23.1
  • waybar to 0.14.0
  • swaylock to 1.8.3
  • git-quick-stats to 2.7.0
  • swayimg to 4.5
  • usbguard to 1.1.4
  • fcft to 3.3.2
  • fnott to 1.8.0
  • wdisplays to 1.1.3
  • wev to 1.1.0
  • wlopm to 1.0.0
  • wmenu to 0.2.0
  • libsfdo to 0.1.4

Most of the packages I uploaded using git-debpush, some of them could not be uploaded this way due to upstream using git submodules (this is 1107219). I also created 1112040 - git-debpush: should also say which tag it created and 1111504 - git-debpush: pristine-tar check warns about pristine-tar data thats not present (which is already fixed).

I uploaded wayback 0.2 to NEW, where it is waiting for review, (ITP).

In my dayjob I added extended the place lookup form of apis-core-rdf to allow searching places and selecting them on a map using leaflet and the nominatim API. Another issue I worked on was about highlighting those inputs of our generic list filter that are used to filter the results. I released a couple of bugfix releases for the v0.50 release, then v0.51 and two bugfix releases and then v0.52 and another couple of bugfix releases. v0.53 will land in a couple of days. I also released v0.6.2 of apis-highlighter-ng, which is sort of a plugin for apis-core-rdf, that allows to highlight parts of a text and link them to whatever Django object (in our case relations).
