Impatient to get a #Backport of #Dino 0.5 for #Debian #Bookworm
... but the build logs were already published, including the hashes of all the binaries, I went ahead and performed a #ReproducibleBuilds check of locally built packages for amd64, arm64 and the "all" architecture... and came up with bit-for-bit identical results!

https://people.debian.org/~vagrant/dino-im-reproduced/

By the time you read this, identical binaries may already land on the Debian archive. I have a newer dino installed now! Try for yourself!

So I am on #debian stable (#bookworm) using the #xfce desktop.

Today the #xfce4-weather-plugin stopped working. This was due to a change upstream that the xfce developers had already fixed in version 0.11.3 but #debian doesn't have that version yet.

So I spent a bit of time to create my own #backport package by downloading the .dsc file and source, adding the fixes to the source, updating the .dsc file to match changes and hashes, then compiling to a .deb file via a docker baseline image (so I don't taint my main install).

Took a few attempts to work through this to get it working as I was trying to also adjust libsoup version but that wasn't required (yet) and just added complication.

Anyway, 30 minutes later I now have a working weather panel applet, as crucially this is a #bpo .deb file and properly installed so can be upgraded by #debian if and when the time comes.

@cwansart IMO, the answer is no, as it depends more on many other factors. E.g. I have seen often enough that things are sometimes no longer fixed in #debian. It could even be that with rolling releases you get a fix earlier than the #backport for an #lts version is ready.

Of course, #distribution also plays a role, but I think it is more important to keep the #attackvectors as low as possible, i.e. to keep the system as minimal as possible. Fewer packages mean fewer potential #vulnerabilities.

@Cfkschaller How crazy and/or how much of a non-starter this idea would even be:

RHEL Workstation's desktop components as an application stream.

The core motivation here is to enable RHEL customers to use the latest Workstation environment on older RHEL versions (within logistical and practical reasoning). For example, GNOME 47 from RHEL 10 available for installation on RHEL 9.

Just watched how this developer backported .NET to Windows 95... cool. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTUMNtKQLl8 #backport #dotnet #windows95 #retro

@NanoRaptor sadly support discontinued with EoL of #Linux 3.6.x / 3.4.x
according to my data...

• Not shure if it's possible to #backport #toybox to #i386 (pretty shure noone bothered because Linux already EoL'd i386 long ago and supporting it would require a lot of redundant work noone wants to do anyway!)

A question for #Debian users. Would you subscribe to backports for something as recent as bookworm ? Trying the polling option on here !

@frankdelporte In #JabRef, we needed to have the fix for a workaround of the #64kb limit of #Java - https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8240567. We did not #backport our fix to JDK20, but relied on a sufficient quality of #JDK21 at the time of our release.

Fixes auf ältere Versionen #backport|en macht doch immer wieder Spaß... Oder so ähnlich 🙄

#backport #QEMU 6.1 from #Debian #unstable to #stable

```
apt source -t unstable qemu
cd qemu-6.1+dfsg
sudo apt build-dep -t bullseye qemu
sudo apt install python3-sphinx-rtd-theme libfuse3-dev
debuild -i -us -uc -b
```

IMPORTANT: small patch needed in `debian/rules` to ignore an error that occurs with PipeWire/JACK stuff:

```
- dh_shlibdeps -a
+ dh_shlibdeps -a -- --ignore-missing-info
```

Otherwise it'll fail near the end of the build. Rebuilding starts again from scratch so you'll have to wait all over.

Wait ~15mins (using a 16-thread desktop processor).

Install the resulting QEMU debs with `sudo dpkg -i`: eg

```
apt search qemu |
grep ^qemu.*installed |
sed "s|/.*|_6.1+dfsg-5_*.deb|" |
xargs echo sudo dpkg -i
```
then copy-and-paste the output into the shell.

I had to `sudo apt remove libvirt0` to avoid dependency issues before installing the fresh QEMU debs.

Hope it fixes my sound issues...
