A tutorial on creating stable backports packages for debian.
https://peertube.debian.social/videos/watch/82befec2-04f6-4369-8955-3b28a843fc6b
And new volunteers to help maintain gitlab dependencies in backports welcome (gitlab itself is in https://fasttrack.debian.net).
I've tagged another git snapshot of #feedbackd with a bunch of fixes.
Here's the list of changes: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/feedbackd/-/releases/v0.0.0%252Bgit20210426
#feedbackd is used by #phosh, #calls and others to provide haptic, audio and led feedback.

#phosh 0.10.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.10.0

I've reworked #phosh's system modal authentication prompts to all use a common base class. This makes it simple to add new features like swipe-away based on @exalm@floss.social code and to get consistent styling:
