Ho To Use Debian Backports In Trixie
#backports
Are we #Manjaro #Linux users just NOT getting the latest #security #updates / #backports, in due time, or am i not gas-lightable enough?
It's been weeks, since there's been "a big batch", or something looking significant.
On #Ubuntu, i've had a few updates every week! Currently, Manjaro only gives me Discord(why is this shit still installed?!), Chromium, and Firefox.
...not much else!
Is Manjaro TOO "slow-rolling"? ..kinda feels like, imho! (I'm not feeling taken care of / curated enough.)
Auch so ein typisches #Linux-Ding: #Kernel und #nvidia-Module neu kompilieren, #backports anpassen und die ganze #Konfiguration abgrasen, bevor man mal daran denkt zu gucken, ob die Kinder am Monitor-Kabel gepult haben...
Was soll ich sagen, so eine IT-Professur zu haben schadet manchmal mehr als sie nützt 😅 :facepalm:

As an aside, LMDE (Debian) works just fine for me for #gaming. #RetroArch runs great, there are no issues with Feral #Gamemode or #SELinux issues (unlike my most recent tests with Fedora or openSUSE), I use #flatpaks so my gaming applications come with their own updated mesa and other drivers, and if I need a newer kernel I could always hit up #backports. And nvidia sucks so I wouldn't bother with them anyway.
If I really needed to I could always run #testing or #unstable.
While we all wait for the images to build and be tested and while the archive continues to be prepared so work on #forky can start (and #backports for #trixie can be done), how about some statistics?
Not the usual boring stuff like #package #numbers (MANY - 70753 binary packages from 34735 #source packages) or architecture space (lots, multiple hundred gigabytes per architecture), can find that in enough places.
How about this? The main #archive now has 54 suites (stable, testing, stable-backports, unstable but also the NEW queue are all suites). They all have 3 or 4 components (main, contrib, non-free, non-free-firmware) and can contain up to 19 different architectures (#trixie has 9 of them). Those suites are split over 9 archives - the public ones are those you see in the #Debian mirrors as different parts of them, others are purely internal functionality (NEW queue, buildd for example).
Curious for the #security archive? That has 17 suites in 5 archives.
Aus einem anderen Tröt heraus wurde bemängelt das bei #Debian die Versionssprünge recht lang sind und diverse Software somit recht alt ist
Unter #Debian konnte man schon immer die neuesten Versionen nutzen
Zum einen mit #backports
https://backports.debian.org
So habe ich mir #kicad9 für #bookworm geholt
Oder mit #Appimage
Einfach runterladen mit einem Klick ausführbar machen & das Programm zum starten anklicken wie hier mit
#freecad & #arduino
Бобер который смог: бекпорт Golang на Windows 7
После того как нам удалось сделать это с Node.js , занялись поиском следующей жертвы, которой после недолгих раздумий стал компилятор Go . Полгода жестоких экспериментов и удивительный результат.
Debian Stable's Hidden Power: The Backports Blessing

#Debian update day for me, following the release of 12.10 yesterday.
I updated the main desktop, plus my #raspberryPi and a #minipc, which I use for some #docker containers.
They were all entirely harmless and easily completed in a few minutes each. A clean reboot sets me up for updates until 12.11 is released.
I do regularly check for updates, but largely only do things like browsers for the most part, leaving other updates until the next point release from #debian
I do of course check for any nasty security updates and will apply them on a case-by-case basis.
For me, the beauty of #debian #stable is that it is so stable. Yes, I do leverage #backports for a few packages (mostly LibreOffice) but otherwise it is left alone.
My main desktop stays on 24/7 so it can often be the case that the uptime is the entire time between a point release and the next. 3 months or so uptime on a desktop needs a stable base, and #debian gives me that.
@rl_dane If you want to stick with a Debian-packaged version, libreoffice is one of the apps available in #backports

Debian Stable's Hidden Power: The Backports Blessing

Hello people,
By now most of you should be aware that YouTube is shaking all non profitable users, third party apps or services are failing frequently.
On a last attempt to provide a working version, yt-dlp on the #Trisquel #backports repo is now tracking the unstable channel.
At some point it may break too.
Anyway, have fun testing it.
After some hours of debugging, I conclude it isn't caused by a bug in Dirt (though there might still be some bugs there).
Rather, this one seems to be a #bug in #Pipewire 's implementation of #JACK protocol (#Debian #Bookworm 0.3.65-3+deb12u1). Upgrading to 1.2.7-1~bpo12+1 from Bookworm #BackPorts seems to have fixed it.
In more detail, `jack_time_to_frames(client, time)` was occasionally returning bogus values in the far future, which made Dirt's pending sound queue fill up (because the sounds would never get played).
some output from printf, middle line shows bug:
```
startT = 214465908, when = 59192907023, when2 = 59192907032, sound->when = 1737176330.247233, epochOffset = 1737117137.340209
startT = 2361950208, when = 59192907023, when2 = 103932163072, sound->when = 1737176330.247233, epochOffset = 1737117137.340209
startT = 214470490, when = 59193002284, when2 = 59193002280, sound->when = 1737176330.342493, epochOffset = 1737117137.340209
```
code:
```
jack_time_t when = (sound->when - epochOffset) * 1000000;
jack_nframes_t startT = jack_time_to_frames(jack_client, when);
jack_time_t when2 = jack_frames_to_time(jack_client, startT);
printf("startT = %u,\twhen = %lu,\twhen2 = %lu, sound->when = %f,\tepochOffset = %f\n", startT, when, when2, sound->when, epochOffset);
sound->startT = startT;
```
