Salut, L'écriture de la seizième DPN de se figer. J'ai un peu commencé, il reste à traduire : - 5, Brèves du chef de projet ; - 6, Brèves des responsables de Debian Multimedia ; - 8, Reprise du portage m68k ; - 9, Autre nouvelles ; - 13, Nouveaux paquets dignes d'intérêt.
Le dernier (13) est gros, certains paquets méritent sans doute d'être virés de la liste, n'hésitez pas à n'en prendre en charge qu'une partie (genre les paquet de « a » à « g » par exemple). Enfin, n'hésitez pas à signaler sur la liste dès maintenant votre intention de traduire un court chapitre (pour éviter que quelqu'un d'autre ne travaille en même temps dessus), et le renvoyer à la liste pour que être intégré au fichier global (ne cherchez pas le 4e, je suis dessus en ce moment). Je fais un bilan ce soir tard au plus tard, via un [RFR] si on arrive à s'en sortir, la publication est prévue lundi, donc plus vite ce sera fini, plus vite on pourra s'attacher à la relecture pour publier les nouvelles en même temps que la VO. Amicalement David (qui adore partager le boulot ;-).

As <q>Squeeze is almost in its final form</q> he calls for upgrade and installation tests (see also the separate <a href="http://www.debian.org/News/2010/20101116b">announcement for that</a>). He also notes, that even (experienced) users who have no systems available to installation or upgrade tests may help by triaging <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/installation-reports">installation reports</a> and <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/upgrade-reports">upgrade reports</a> or propose texts for the <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/release-notes">release notes</a>.</p> <a name="2"></a> <h2>Highlights from the Debian linux-2.6 Meeting</h2> <p>A report from Maximillian Attems on the Debian kernel group's meeting at the Parisian mini-Debconf in October was sent to the Debian kernel mailing list. Among the things they discussed was the move to Git as a source code management tool allowing the kernel group to not have to <q>update infrastructure in separate branches as we have to do now.</q><br/> The report also mentions the reduction of Linux kernel patches for Wheezy: <q>Several patches got pushed or landed since 2.6.32, thus state is in general good.</q> Much more (e.g. about different patches for virtualisation, the need for automated tests and Linux Security Modules) can be read in the <a href="http://lists.debian.org/20101111135212.gu19...@vostochny.stro.at">original email</a>.</p> <a name="3"></a> <h2>New default artwork for Debian <q>Squeeze</q></h2> <p>Yves-Alexis Perez announced the <a href="http://lists.debian.org/1289334281.2898.2.ca...@hidalgo">results of the Debian Squeeze Artwork contest</a>: the winner is the theme <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianArt/Themes/SpaceFun">Space Fun</a> by Valessio Brito.

The first session took already place last Friday, and was visited by many interested people. Long time Debian contributor Lars Wirzenius gave an introduction to debian packaging and was available for all kind of questions. A <a href="http://meetbot.debian.net/debian-women/2010/debian-women.2010-11-18-20.05.log.txt">log of this training session</a> is also available.<br /> More training sessions with topics like <q>Bug Tracking System usage</q>, <q>Using git</q> or <q>Python libraries and application packaging</q> (and many more interesting topics) are <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/DebianWomen/TrainingSessions">already planed in the Debian wiki</a>.</p> <a name="5"></a> <h2>Bits from the DPL</h2> <p>Debian Project Leader Stefano Zacchiroli send another <a href="http://lists.debian.org/20101113034904.ga12...@upsilon.cc">bits from the DPL</a> report.

While also giving a small introduction to this team, he concentrates on multi media related features, the upcoming Debian 6.0 <q>Squeeze</q> will feature for consumers as well as producers. Some of the highlights for consumers are an <q>uncrippled</q> version of <a href="http://packages.debian.org/ffmpeg">ffmpeg</a> and an the introduction of <a href="http://pacakges.debian.org/mencoder">mencoder</a> packages. He also gave an overview over multimedia production related platforms, technologies and end user applications.</p> <a name="7"></a> <h2>Interview with Debian Developer Joey Hess</h2> <p>Raphaël Hertzog published an <a href="http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/11/11/people-behind-debian-joey-hess-of-debhelper-fame/">interview with long term Debian Developer Joey Hess</a>, who's already well known to Debian Developers for his work on <a href="http://packages.debian.org/debconf">debconf</a>, the configuration system for Debian packages, <a href="http://packages.debian.org/debhelper">debhelper</a>, a collection of helper script to ease package creation or the <a href="http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer">debian-installer</a> (short d-i). When he was asked about his biggest achievement, he answered: <q>But while it might sound corny, I am more proud of the accumulation of all the smaller things done in the context of Debian.</q>. Joey Hess, who by the way also once laid the base for this newsletter, gives also some insights about his plans for Debian <q>Wheezy</q>, whom he admires most and if he regrets to have written most of his applications in Perl.</p> <a name="8"></a> <h2>Revival of the m68k port?</h2> <p>While <a href="http://www.debian.org/ports/m68k/">Debian supported the Motorola 680x0 processors</a> since Debian 2.0 <q>Hamm</q>, support for that architecture was dropped with Debian 3.1 <q>Etch</q> for various reasons. One of the main reasons was limited support of the C library and other parts of the toolchain. However, Thorsten Glaser recently started to work on these <a href="https://www.mirbsd.org/permalinks/wlog-10_e20101016-tg.htm#e20101016-tg_wlog-10">issues</a>.
