Version 6.20 of the Incus container and virtual-machine management system has been released. Notable changes in this release include a new standalone command to add IncusOS servers to a cluster, qcow2-formatted volumes for clustered LVM, and reverse DNS records in OVN. See the announcement for a full list of changes.

John Paul Adrian Glaubitz has announced that loong64 is now an official architecture for Debian, and will be part of the Debian 14 ("forky") release "if everything goes along as planned". This is a bit more than two years after the initial bootstrap of the architecture.

So far, we have manually built and imported an initial set of 112 packages with the help of the packages in Debian Ports. This was enough to create an initial chroot and set up the first buildd which is now churning through the build queue. Over night, the currently single buildd instance already built and uploaded 300 new packages.
