There are some things going on on the partman front, however discussion is already done, so it's just a matter of implementing it. 1. "Add legacy_boot flag support for arm64 recipes" <https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/partman-auto/-/merge_requests/21> 2. "Disable automatic use and forceful format of existing swaps" <https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/partman-basicfilesystems/-/merge_requests/9> Another issue: I would like to push forward the blendsel topic for Trixie. However this waits for my dd application, but that stalled somewhat recently due to illness, holiday, real life and similar on both my and the AM side. Moreover, I realize that I lack some of the needed skills, so I'm unsure, if I will ever manage to bring that to success. Anyway, it would be good, to gain upload privileges for blendsel, to have the possibility, to push blendsel forward separately from my DD application. >If we're entering a quieter period (after the 64-bit time_t transition, >partition-related changes, what to do about armel/i386, etc.), the next >question would be what the l10n side looks like.

I will issue a call for translation updates shortly, but don't wait for results IMO. Greets Holger -- Sent from /e/ OS on Fairphone3
