Debian 12.11 “Bookworm” Released with 81 Bug Fixes and 45 Security Updates

Arriving two months after Debian 12.10, the Debian 12.11 update is the tenth point release of the Debian Bookworm series. Yes, tenth, because Debian 12.3 was never released due to an issue in the EXT4 file system leading to data corruption, which means that it doesn’t count as a point release.

Debian Project Leader Wants to Tackle Dormant Packages

Quoting: Debian Project Leader Wants to Tackle Dormant Packages —

Debian Project Leader Andreas Tille has unveiled an initial plan to tackle dormant packages, a growing issue for the venerable Linux distro.

Debian is the second-oldest Linux distro in existence, and serves as the basis for countless others. Debian also boasts one of the largest software repositories, but not all of that software is actively maintained. Unfortunately, as Tille points out in a message to the Debian mailing list, as the repo has grown, the number of poorly maintained or dormant packages has increased.
