  3. Housekeeping after the Debian buster release

    The Debian buster release implicitly inflicts some mandatary (new apt keys!) as well as some minor recommended housekeeping on an existing mini-buildd installation.

    So this is what I would recommend you to do -- assuming a basic setup, near to what the wizards would set up automatically.

  4. 1.0.x maintenance moved to Hellfield Archive

    After the Debian buster release, django in Debian sid/bullseye has been updated to 2.2.

    Not only does this version have a number of incompabilities (to former 1.11), it also, more importantly, drops python 2 support.

  8. New features in 1.0.x since 1.0.11

    Abstract

    The current sid/stretch Debian development cycle was (and still is) very busy, and changes continuously broke mini-buildd ;).

    Partly substantial changes to mini-buildd stable code was needed to keep things going. All in all, this stable development cycle compromises over 300 commits, closing about 25 actual Debian bugs and …

    mini-buildd Development TODO

    (0) MOTM: Sep 2016

    Some notes/news about release planning:

    Within stretch development, lots of changes in 1.0.x were needed to accomodate for new versions of packages in sid.
