But that may not work well with multi-head 19:18:44 it is a fallback scenario 19:18:46 But we could maybe talk to the plymouth maintainers about changing what drivers it includes 19:20:19 #action bwh will start discussion with plymouth maintainers about conditional inclusion of graphics drivers in initramfs 19:21:54 OK. then there's !1159 19:22:38 #topic !1159 19:23:36 There is some discussion of templating there which I hoped you would comment on. And then later I realised it probably would make sense to use Jinja2 here rather than extending our own template system. 19:25:51 this is not backward compatible, aka we need to raise the interface version (an interface that is not versioned at all right now) 19:27:41 Do you mean that packages installing hooks wouldn't be able to rely on this? 19:28:16 If we implement this before trixie then other packages could rely on it post-trixie 19:31:04 and "make deb-pkg" also relies on it 19:31:43 Yeah... 19:32:54 OK, so this MR has a number of problems :-) 19:32:59 Please do comment on it 19:33:13 #action waldi to comment on !1159 19:33:39 #topic AOB 19:33:48 anything else? 19:33:57 There is the uggrade to 6.12 (!1232) 19:34:09 Do you want to look at that or shall I go ahead and merge it? 19:35:04 done 19:35:07 03linux 05master 06Bastian Blank * [merge] merge request !1232: Update to 6.12-rc2 * 14https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/merge_requests/1232 19:35:08 03linux 05master 78c8af8 06Ben Hutchings 10debian/ 10(12 files in 7 dirs) * Update to 6.12-rc2 * 14https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/commit/78c8af8 19:35:08 03linux 05master ded5a7a 06Ben Hutchings 10debian/ 10(106 files in 2 dirs) * [rt] Update to 6.12-rc1-rt2 * 14https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/commit/ded5a7a 19:35:08 03linux 05master 3a17dcb 06Ben Hutchings 10debian/ 10changelog 10rules.d/certs/Makefile * d/rules.d/certs: Add newly required include directory to CPPFLAGS * 14https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/commit/3a17dcb 19:35:13 03linux 05master e696894 06Ben Hutchings 10debian/ 10changelog 10libcpupower1.symbols * libcpupower: Update symbols file for change in 6.12 * 14https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/commit/e696894 19:35:17 03linux 05master 367fda9 06Ben Hutchings 10debian/ 10(7 files in 6 dirs) * d/config: Update with the help of kconfigeditor2 * 14https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/commit/367fda9 19:35:20 03linux 05master c0069ea 06Bastian Blank 10debian/ 10(125 files in 14 dirs) * Merge branch 'update-6.12' into 'master' * 14https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/commit/c0069ea 19:35:44 i did not manage to announce the branch stuff yet, i hope to get this done until the weekend 19:35:45 :-) 19:35:50 Thanks 19:35:55 will you chair next weeks meeting? 19:36:03 OK 19:36:06 thx 19:36:23 sorry for cutting this short 19:36:26 #endmeeting
