Because of dkim, strict dmarc policies and an old mailman setup Sourceware mailinglists used From rewriting.

No more! We upgraded mailman, gave up subject prefixes, mail footers, html stripping and reply-to mangling.

The #glibc libc-alpha list is the first to try it out.

We'll evaluate how well this works at our next Open Office hour (this Friday) and whether to recommend it to other #Sourceware projects.

Thanks to the FSF tech-team for walking us through their setup for lists.gnu.org

#glibc is the latest #Sourceware project that provides continuous snapshots from latest git with both source archives and manuals.

https://snapshots.sourceware.org

This helps to make sure the release process always works and that manuals can be produced in various formats.

Thanks to #OSUOSL https://osuosl.org for hosting the snapshots server.

Sourceware 25 Roadmap

https://sourceware.org/sourceware-25-roadmap.html

Preparing #Sourceware for the next 25 years.

In the last couple of years we have started to diversify our hardware partners, setup new services using containers and isolated VMs, investigated secure supply chain issues, added redundant mirrors, created a non-profit home, collected funds, invested in open communication, open office hours and introduced community oversight by a Sourceware Project Leadership Committee with the help from @conservancy

Uncover interesting test cases with AI/ML and #Bunsen on #Sourceware

https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2023/08/02/uncover-interesting-test-cases-aiml-and-bunsen

The AI/ML engine is already running on our showcase sourceware.org server. The AI/ML predictions are shown on the #DejaGnu panels, highlighting "mismatches"

The #gentoo #sparc builders are disabled for now because the worker had become a little too unstable.

https://builder.sourceware.org

We hope to get it back soon because it is doing a lot of builds for #Sourceware projects.

#elfutils, #libabigail, #bzip2, #debugedit, #gccrust, #binutils, #gdb, #gcc, #systemtap, #glibc, #gnupoke.

Open office hour every second Friday of the month in channel overseers on irc.libera.net at 18:00 UTC. Which is today!

Please feel free to drop by with any #Sourceware hosting questions. Help with email (archives, spam), secure supply chain, setting up new buildbot CI, producing snapshots, helping write up some POCs, discussing extending services, what the Software Freedom Sourceware Project Leadership Committee should prioritize, or just to say things are working fine.

HTML email. Most #sourceware projects allow it, if there is at least a text/plain alternative.

But #public-inbox is not so forgiving, it only allows plain-text emails, HTML is rejected by default.

So the https://inbox.sourceware.org/ archive was incomplete.

We now have a filter that removes redundant HTML parts before storing in public-inbox. And we re-imported missing emails. To make the archive complete.

But please don't sent HTML email. It will make DKIM verification of your email impossible.

#Sourceware source code integrity. gitsigur for protecting git repo integrity. With comparisons, developer workflow examples and composition possibilities for gitsigur, b4 and sigstore.

The #Sourceware reverse DNS issue has been acknowledge by our network/dns provider, but not yet resolved. DNS propagation seems broken, but it does not impact everybody.

If it does impact you then now is a good time to check out our public-inbox server https://inbox.sourceware.org all emails are there and you can access them through the html archive, imap, nntp, atom feeds or git cloning the whole archive.
