#FreeSoftware versions of Vagrant is no longer maintained. Vagrant was one of the methods we suggested when people are learning #debian #packaging. I liked the way of sharing a Vagrantfile when doing a workshop for many people.

As I was preparing for another packaging workshop for #MiniDebConf at Navi Mumbai, I gave Incant a try. It is a replacement for Vagrantfile like declaration of machines and uses #Incus as its backend.

Legacy Python Bootstrap Scripts Create Domain-Takeover Risk in Multiple PyPI Packages

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered vulnerable code in legacy Python packages that could potentially pave the way for a supply chain compromise on the Python Package Index (PyPI) via a domain takeover attack.

Has your OS ever refused to install the MariaDB client package or the MySQL client package due to a conflict with the other?

It feels like it should be possible to have both, but unfortunately I have yet to see a solution for this.

For a subset of these cases, all that you want is just to have the client tools such as the mariadb/ mysql CLI and the mariadb-dumper/ mysqldumper backup programs co-existing on the same OS. (I.e. you don't care about the static/dynamic libmariadbclient/libmysqlclient libs etc).

So, I decided to write up my solutions for this:
