Fedora retired all Deepin packages after unresolved security issues, broken builds, and months of maintainer inactivity. β οΈ
FESCo said Deepin packages cannot return without a full review, following concerns over unsafe Polkit and D-Bus implementations. π§

Large language model (LLM)-powered agents have demonstrated strong capabilities in automating software engineering tasks such as static bug fixing, as evidenced by benchmarks like SWE-bench. However, in the real world, the development of mature software is typically predicated on complex requirement changes and long-term feature iterations -- a process that static, one-shot repair paradigms fail to capture. To bridge this gap, we propose \textbf{SWE-CI}, the first repository-level benchmark built upon the Continuous Integration loop, aiming to shift the evaluation paradigm for code generation from static, short-term \textit{functional correctness} toward dynamic, long-term \textit{maintainability}. The benchmark comprises 100 tasks, each corresponding on average to an evolution history spanning 233 days and 71 consecutive commits in a real-world code repository. SWE-CI requires agents to systematically resolve these tasks through dozens of rounds of analysis and coding iterations. SWE-CI provides valuable insights into how well agents can sustain code quality throughout long-term evolution.
I used to think of myself as an "innovator" 20 years ago. Today I'm probably better described as "ancient maintainer" as I'm mostly working on projects I've started 10-15 years ago. I used to believe a good maintainer churns out new and exciting features all the time, but I now I think that a good maintainer:
- keeps the lights on
- doesn't frustrate the users of their projects (less breaking changes and controversial/divisive features)
- tries to build a welcoming and enduring community around their projects
- values simplicity and the power of "saying no"/"less is more"
This article definitely resonated strongly with me https://www.joanwestenberg.com/the-rime-of-the-ancient-maintainer/
Every culture produces heroes that reflect its deepest anxieties. The Greeks, terrified of both mortality and immortality, gave us Achilles. The Victorians, haunted by social mobility, gave us the self-made industrialist. And Silicon Valley, drunk on exponential curves and both terrified and entranced by endless funding rounds, has given us
We called it "support", but okay.

π§Ή Tidying Up After Myself: Automatically Deleting Old GitHub Issues
At some point, I had to admit it: Iβve turned GitHub Issues into a glorified chart gallery. Let me explain. Over on my amedee/ansible-servers repository, I have a workflow called workflow-metrics.yml, which runs after every pipeline. It uses yykamei/github-workflows-metrics to generate beautiful charts that show how long my CI pipeline takes to run. Those charts are then posted into a GitHub Issueβone per run. Itβs neat. It's visual. It's entirely unnecessary to keep them [β¦]https://amedee.be/%f0%9f%a7%b9-tidying-up-after-myself-automatically-deleting-old-github-issues/
