I've tagged version 0.9.23 of git-buildpackage (a tool to maintain #Debian packages in #git repositories): https://lists.sigxcpu.org/pipermail/git-buildpackage/2021-June/000411.html
The release improves git-attributes handling and #rpm support.
Thanks to everybody who contributed to this release!
Stitched together a small (µ) video player using #gstreamer and #gtk4 to test accelerated #h264 video decoding on the #librem5 using it's #hantro VPU. It gets along with 20% CPU usage when rendering the 15 Mbps jellyfish demo to a #GdkPaintable which is twice as much as the raw `gst-launch-1.0` pipeline (https://social.librem.one/web/statuses/105799071793016596) but not too bad. It also suspends rendering on screen blank and prevent screen lock during playback so just enough for 'on the road battery drain testing'.
So #debian 11.0 #bullseye has a tentative release date of July 31. On June 17 we will have a confirmed release date.

I've published a new spin-off project from the #debian-janitor: #ognibuild aims to provide a basic interface to any buildsystem, including dependency discovery and resolution. https://www.jelmer.uk/ognibuild.html
With >150 non-merge commits (~4.5 every day since the last release) this is one of the bigger #phosh releases commit wise.
phosh 0.11.0 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.11.0
New features:

- Initial support for `gnome-session --systemd`
- Torch brightness slider
- Allow to show battery percentage in top bar (via Settings toggle)
And there's more! See above release notes for the full list of changes and contributors.
Here's what you can expect from Debian Bullseye (the next stable version) to be released over the summer of 2021: https://michael-prokop.at/blog/2021/05/27/what-to-expect-from-debian-bullseye-newinbullseye/ #linux #debian
Zhaofeng Li is working on moving the #phosh session setup to #systemd units https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/merge_requests/824 as modern #gnome-session does.
We are proud that mobian developer kop316 has now gone for a real fork of the unmaintained mmsd and will be trying to get it into Debian. Also @purism will be using his code on the Librem5. It goes both ways! This will hopefully become the basis for The Next Generation of mmsd:

Receiving MMS messages on the #librem5 is getting closer to working by default. In #PureOS byzantium the needed #libqmi and #ModemManager fixes are already there now, we just need to add #mmsd and purple-mm-sms manually: https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/chatty/-/issues/30#note_157487 Thanks to Chris T and @craftyguy #GNU #Linux #chatty #freesoftware @purism
Building on top of https://social.librem.one/@agx/106165637941088397 and about 80 commits later we passed the magic 50% test coverage hurdle (meaning we test about half of #phosh automatically which each commit).
To ease debugging issues on the road i made #gnome-logs shrink to smaller screen sizes. This is based on @brainblasted 's work to make #gnome-logs use #libhandy initially.
#phosh 0.10.2 is out 🚀 : https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/releases/v0.10.2
This is another (stability and ui) bugfix release. It also updates several translations and adds initial built-in screenshot support.
