Improvements in this release ============================ * apt-setup: - Remove mention of volatile repo from generated sources.list file (#954460). * base-installer: - Improve test architecture, adding support for Linux 5.x versions. * brltty: - Improve hardware detection and driver support. * cdebconf: - Make text interface report progress more accurately: from the very beginning, and also as soon as an answer to a question has been given. * choose-mirror: - Update Mirrors.masterlist. * console-setup: - Improve support for box-drawing characters (#965029). - Sync Terminus font with the xfonts-terminus package. - Fix Lithuanian layout (#951387). * debian-cd: - Only include Linux udebs for the latest ABI, making small installation images more useful. * debian-installer: - Bump Linux kernel ABI to 5.9.0-4 - Drop fontconfig tweaks introduced in the Debian Installer Buster Alpha 1 release (See: #873462). - Install kmod-udeb instead of libkmod2-udeb. - Mimick libgcc1 handling, for libgcc-s1. - Clean up the list of fake packages. - Replace the mklibs library reduction pass with a hack, copying libgcc_s.so.[124] from the host filesystem for the time being. - Add explicit build-depends on fdisk on arm64, amd64 and i386 now that util-linux doesn't depend on it anymore.

Proprietary software in a non-default area. [3] Official website www.debian.org Debian (/ˈdɛbiən/) is an operating system composed of free software mostly carrying the GNU General Public License, and developed by an Internet collaboration of volunteers aligned with the Debian Project. It is one of the most popular Linux distributions for personal computers and network servers, and has been used as a base for other Linux distributions. Debian 2 Debian was announced in 1993 by Ian Murdock, and the first stable release was made in 1996. The development is carried out by a team of volunteers guided by a project leader and three foundational documents. New distributions are updated continually and the next candidate is released after a time-based freeze. As one of the earliest distributions in Linux's history, Debian was envisioned to be developed openly in the spirit of Linux and GNU. This vision drew the attention and support of the Free Software Foundation, who sponsored the project for the first part of its life.
