Marcin Juszkiewicz ☛ Two years of AArch64 features table
Architecture updates are present on a market. More and more SoC vendors go for newer designs instead of staying in the past. Most of those cases are mobile phones. Cloud systems also moved to the new designs as we have Arm Neoverse-V2 based instances available at several places.

Adam Williamson: AdamW's Debugging Adventures: Inadvertent Extreme Optimization
It's time for that rarest of events: a blog post! And it's another debugging adventure. Settle in, folks!
Recently I got interested in improving the time it takes to do a full compose of Fedora. This is when we start from just the packages and a few other inputs (basically image recipes and package groups), and produce a set of repositories and boot trees and images and all that stuff. For a long time this took somewhere between 5 and 10 hours. Recently we've managed to get it down to 3-4, then I figured out a change which has got it under 3 hours.
