#Luanti 5.15.0 is here!
This time, we have rendering performance improvements, dynamic shadows on Android, a Windows installer, and many small enhancements.
@Luanti For Debian Trixie users: While waiting for 5.15 to appear in sid, you can package Luanti 5.15 yourself with just a few commands:
Add sid sources to sources.list and then
sudo apt build-dep luanti=5.14.0+dfsg-2
sudo apt install libsdl2-dev devscripts
wget https://github.com/luanti-org/luanti/archive/refs/tags/5.15.0.tar.gz https://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/luanti/luanti_5.14.0+dfsg-2.debian.tar.xz
tar xf 5.15.0.tar.gz
cd luanti-5.15.0
tar xf ../luanti_5.14.0+dfsg-2.debian.tar.xz
dch --newversion 5.15.0-1 'New upstream version 5.15.0' </dev/null
sed --in-place -r 's/^.*run-unittests.*$|^.*dh_auto_test$//' debian/rules
dpkg-buildpackage -b
dpkg-buildpackage -b
In this case dpkg-buildpackage needs to be run twice to ingnore a warning.

OK, TIL (Today I Learned):
If "apt-get install" tells you "after this installation, XX GB additional disk space will be used" – that means that YOU SHOULD LOOK if that's available. Because, APT DOES NOT – it simply … well, stops working when the disk is full 🤦♂️
Have fun then cleaning up. Glad I ran a Timeshift backup immediately before…

One of the upstream projects I maintain in #Debian is guile-gcrypt,
and I noticed there was a new upstream version in #Guix but I could not update my git repository, as the platform hosting it, notabug.org, seems to be going through some rough "404 page not found" times.
Because it is packaged in Guix, I knew there was a very good chance it was also archived on #SoftwareHeritage and sure enough, I was able to download and refresh my local git repository, and even verify the latest signed tag!

At least five different components end up with exactly the same segfault:
segfault at 8 ip 000077e6076cb379 sp 00007ffeb42f53b0 error 4 in libQt6Network.so.6.8.2[b7379,77e607672000+125000]
Debian 13 (running under QubesOS), clean $HOME. Bizarre.

Three years ago, I experimented with introducing automated build testing for RISC-V in Linux GPU drivers. Back then, it was a bit hacky due to the older Debian version used in CI [ https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/19917 ]
Recently, Mesa3D CI was upgraded to Debian 13, which supports RISC-V out of the box — and we’ve already been testing basic RISC-V builds for the past two days!

Hopefully, Imagination will start testing on real hardware soon!

Debian to add hard Rust dependency to APT
It seems like a number of Debian ports are going to face difficult times over the coming months. Debian developer Julian Andres Klode has sent a message to the Debian mailing lists that APT will very soon start requiring Rust.
I plan to introduce hard Rust dependencies and Rust code into APT, no earlier than May 2026. This extends at first to the Rus
