Ian Jackson has published a blog
post summarizing the tag2upload service’s
first month of handling uploads for the upcoming Debian 14 (“forky”) release:

We announced tag2upload’s open beta in mid-July. That was in the
middle of the the freeze for trixie, so usage was fairly light until
the forky floodgates opened.

Since then the service has successfully performed 637 uploads, of
which 420 were in the last 32 days. That’s an average of about 13 per
day. For comparison, during the first half of September up to today
there have been 2475 uploads to unstable. That’s about 176/day.

So, tag2upload is already handling around 7.5% of uploads. This is
very gratifying for a service which is advertised as still being in
beta!

LWN covered
tag2upload in July 2024.

Version
2.15.0 of libxml2 has
been released. Notable changes include the disabling of Python
bindings by default, using Doxygen to generate API documentation, as
well as bringing HTML serialization and handling of character
encodings more in line with the HTML5 specification.

Nick Wellnhofer has also announced
that he is stepping down as libxml2 maintainer, and Iván Chavero has
volunteered
to take over. LWN covered libxml2 in
June.

When recently carrying out the Windows 11 25H2 vs. Ubuntu Linux benchmarks I also ended up carrying out some Llama.cpp AI benchmarks as the first time exploring the AI inferencing performance between Windows and Linux for both CPU and GPU-accelerated deployments. Here are those results for exploring the Llama.cpp performance between Windows and Linux with different large language models.

Typst is a program for document
typesetting. It is especially well-suited to technical material
incorporating elements such as mathematics, tables, and floating
figures. It produces high-quality results, comparable to the gold standard,
LaTeX, with a simpler markup
system and easier customization, all while compiling documents
more quickly. Typst is free software, Apache-2.0 licensed, and is written in Rust.

Systemd
v258 has been released with a long list of new features and
changes; slice units now have basic workload management features,
quotas for tmpfs have been added, the “systemctl start”
command now has a verbose (-v) option, and more. This release
also, finally, completely removes support for control groups v1
support. LWN covered
some of systemd v258’s features and changes in August.

Fedora 43 Beta is out. You can now upgrade to Fedora 43 from Fedora 42!

In October, consumer versions of Windows 10 will
stop receiving security updates. Many users who would ordinarily move
to the next version are blocked by Windows 11’s hardware
requirements unless they are willing to buy a newer PC. The “End of 10” campaign is an effort to
convince those users to switch to Linux rather than sticking with an
end-of-life operating system or buying a new Windows system. At
Akademy 2025, Dr. Joseph De Veaugh-Geiss,
Bettina Louis, Carolina Silva Rodé, and Nicole Teale discussed their
work on the campaign, its progress so far, and what’s next.

Linux systems provide a variety of system services (process management, login, syslog, cron, etc.) and network services (remote login, email, printers, web hosting, data storage, file transfer, DNS, DHCP, and more).

Technically, a service is a daemon — a process or group of processes running in the background, waiting to respond to client requests.

Modern Linux distributions use systemd as the default system and service manager. With the systemctl command, you can easily list, start, stop, restart, enable, or disable services.
