[ Please reply on -publicity list ] Hi all,
We just finished with Paul Wise and Donald Norwwod the last bits of the new issue of DPN to be released on Thursday August 14, after 20:00 UTC. Sorry for the short notice, but one of the articles is about Debian's birthday, and we'd like to have it published a couple of days before that. We would appreciate reviews and translations. Instructions are available on the wiki: http://wiki.debian.org/ProjectNews The last updated version is available on the publicity Subversion repository, even via HTTP: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/publicity/dpn/en/2014/10/index.wml?view=markup If you're willing to contribute to the redaction of the next issue, don't hesitate, and join #debian-publicity IRC channel or send a message to debian-public...@lists.debian.org. Cheers, Cédric

MATE is a fork of what was previously the GNOME v2 desktop environment. MATE is available in unstable, testing, and wheezy-backports. Feel free to use and test via the meta package mate-desktop-environment and mate-desktop-environment-extras. </p> <toc-add-entry name="debian-ci">The Debian Continuous Integration project</toc-add-entry> <p> Antonio Terceiro wrote on his <a href="http://softwarelivre.org/terceiro/blog/an-introduction-to-the-debian-continuous-integration-project";>blog</a> how new versions of packages can potentially break some functionality in other packages and what can be done about it. He detailed the Debian Continuous Integration project which checks inter-package dependencies across the entire Debian archive. The origins of the project go back to the introduction of the <a href="https://packages.debian.org/autopkgtest";>autopkgtest tool</a>, which tests packages in their installed form, and was later adopted as the <a href="http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git;a=blob_plain;f=doc/README.package-tests;hb=HEAD";>DEP-8 standard</a>. The continuous integration tool, called <a href="https://packages.debian.org/debci";>debci</a>, is run against the entire archive for packages that declare a test suite using the DEP-8 format. Debian CI runs at most 4 tests per day and publishes its results at <a href="ci.debian.net">ci.debian.net</a> every hour along with a global status. With the introduction of Debian CI earlier this year there has been a rise in the number of packages with test suites. Maintainers are encouraged to use test suites in their packages and read the <a href="http://ci.debian.net/doc/";>documentation</a> about the system. </p> <toc-add-entry name="other">Other news</toc-add-entry> <p>The 35th issue of the <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/05/msg00007.html";>miscellaneous news for developers</a> has been released and covers the following topics:</p> <ul> <li>duck: checks URLs in debian/control and debian/upstream files</li> <li>mentors.debian.net attracting more and more contributions</li> <li>Debian Maintainer Dashboard: RSS feed available</li> <li>how-can-i-help: monitor opportunities for contributions, and more!</li> <li>Common mistakes with OpenPGP keys in Debian</li> <li>DEP-12 supported by the PTS</li> </ul> <p> In an update of the Release Team delegation, DPL Lucas Nussbaum announced the Release that Emilio Pozuelo Monfort was joining the Release Team, and <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/05/msg00008.html";>updated its delegation</a>. </p> <p> <a href="https://bugs.debian.org/750000";>Bug #750000</a> has been opened on May 31 by Holger Levsen, reporting an upgrade issue discovered by <a href="https://piuparts.debian.org/";>piuparts</a>. </p> <toc-add-entry name="newcontributors">New Debian Contributors</toc-add-entry> <p> Five applicants have been <a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2014/06/msg00001.html";>accepted</a> as Debian Maintainers, and six people have <a href="http://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/new-maintainers.cgi";>started to maintain packages</a> since the previous issue of the Debian Project News.
