Their definition "relies on a +coverage assumption: a system will face serious delays or will be +likely discontinued if its current set of authors covers less than 50% +of the current set of files in the system". + +It doesn't directly confirm or infirm my theory +(`avg(bus_factor)==1`), but it certainly seems like 1 is the "[most +common value](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(statistics))". If I parse [their data](https://mclare.blog/_file/posts/the-bus-factor/results.4c687f4f.json), I end up with an +average truck factor of 4.9, but this covers only 133 projects! + +And what's worse, the [original paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.06766) (from which this project +list is based on) selected based on most popular GitHub projects: + +> To select a target set of subjects, we follow a procedure similar to +> other studies investigating GitHub [12]–[15]. First, we query the +> programming languages with the largest number of repositories in +> GitHub. [...] We then select the 100-top most popular repositories +> within each target language. [...] Considering only the most popular +> projects in a given language (S`), we remove the systems in the +> first quartile (Q1) of the distribution of three metrics, namely +> number of developers (nd), number of commits (nc), and number of +> files (nf ). After filtering out subjects in Q1, we compute the +> intersection of the remaining sets. + +So they explicitly target large projects with large numbers of +developers: + +> [...] 133 subjects (T 2), which represent the most important systems per +> language in GitHub, implemented by teams with a considerable number +> of active developers and with a considerable number of files + +Note that their final list does not include foundational projects like +OpenSSL, GCC, xz (!) but it does include others like git, Linux, or +less. So their data is likely skewed towards larger, healthier +projects than what actually matters. + +I would be curious, for example, to see this exercise ran against all +of Debian `main` or [required](https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-archive.html#s-priorities) packages, if we'd have to pick a +subset. I suspect the bus factor for those would be *much* smaller, +and maintain my original theory that it converges towards 1. + +I'll also note that the original paper concludes that: + +> We show that 87 systems (65%) have TF ≤ 2 + +... which is *pretty close* (off by one!) to my original theory, which +I should probably rephrase as "most projects have a bus factor of one" +(the above paper says it's two). + +The new research also implies that the trend is getting worse, with +the kernel moving from 57 to 12, for example. + [[!tag debian-planet python-planet python software debian]]

They have QMK-compatible firmware and pretty designs, with slim and
TKL keyboards.
+I have found a second hand Air75 at some Amazon overflow thing here,
+and it is *really* nice. It's really slim, I (surprisingly) like the
+short travel and the sound is exquisite, even with red switches. It's
+nice to have the combo Bluetooth / USB-C setup, and there's even a
+"2.4GHz transmitter" in there for non-BT operation, but somehow the
+adapter for that was missing from the case.

+Two major downsides:
+
+- it's a bit on the heavy side, which would otherwise make this an
+ incredible travel keyboard
+- the TKL layout is a bit too narrow for me, i can't get used to the
+ vertical pgup/pgdown pad
+
+I have also heard first-hand reports of a full USB controller failure
+and a failure of support to provide proper followup, so that's a bit
+concerning.

+### unshare configuration
+
+Everyone seems to be switching to unshare as a schroot backend,
+[including the official debian.org builders](https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2024/11/msg00002.html). The [official sbuild
+instructions](https://wiki.debian.org/sbuild) also use unshare now, this is my take.
+
+ 1. install necessary packages
+
+ sudo apt install sbuild mmdebstrap uidmap
+
+ 2. create directory to store images
+
+ mkdir -p ~/.cache/sbuild
+
+ Note that jumped around quite a lot for me. It used to be in
+ `/srv/sbuild` for qemu, but this was bind-mounted to
+ `/home/sbuild`, which begs the question of why it can't just be in
+ `~/.cache` after all, although I have Puppet managing `/srv`.
+
+ 3. create an unstable image:
+
+ mmdebstrap --include=ca-certificates --skip=output/dev --variant=buildd unstable ~/.cache/sbuild/unstable-amd64.tar.zst https://deb.debian.org/debian
+
+ This install took 42 seconds in my experience.
+
+ 4. tweak `.sbuildrc`:
+
+ $chroot_mode = 'unshare';
+
+ Remove any `$piuparts_opts`, `$autopkgtest_virt_server_options`,
+ or `$autopkgtest_opts`
+
+The guide argues against running this, but you can update the tarballs
+with:
+
+ sbuild-update --chroot-mode=unshare --update --upgrade --dist-upgrade --autoremove oldstable stable unstable
+
+This takes 6 seconds in my tests, much faster than rebuilding from
+scratch.
+
+Note that we don't care about doing overlayfs or fancy copy-on-write
+stuff, the tarballs apparently take only two seconds to
+decompresss. See also [this discussion](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=960950).

+[[!meta title="Trixie upgrade"]]
+

+
+This document contains my upgrade procedure, notable changes in the
+new version, issues I have stumbled upon (and possibly fixed), and
+troubleshooting instructions.
+
+It does not hope to replace the official documentation: it is a
+personal, living document that I have started keeping back when I

+
+# Procedure
+
+This procedure is designed to be applied, in batch, on multiple
+servers. Do NOT follow this procedure unless you are familiar with the
+command line and the Debian upgrade process. It has been crafted by
+and for experienced system administrators that have dozens if not
+hundreds of servers to upgrade.
+
+In particular, it runs almost completely unattended: configuration
+changes are not prompted during the upgrade, and just not applied at
+all, which *will* break services in many cases. I use a
+[clean-conflicts](https://gitlab.com/anarcat/koumbit-scripts/-/blob/master/vps/clean_conflicts) script to do this all in one shot to shorten the
+upgrade process (without it, configuration file changes stop the
+upgrade at more or less random times). Then those changes get applied
+after a reboot. And yes, that's even more dangerous.
+
+IMPORTANT: if you are doing this procedure over SSH (I had the
+privilege of having a console), you may want to [upgrade SSH first](https://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/amd64/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#ssh-not-available)
+as it has a longer downtime period, especially if you are on a flaky
+connection.
+
+Make sure you read the [conflicts resolution section below](#conflicts-resolution) for how
+to handle `clean_conflicts` output.
+
+This procedure *may* kill your graphical session, so make sure you
+can log back in over a serial console or virtual terminal.
+
+ 1. Preparation:
+
+ : reset to the default locale
+ export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 &&
+ : install some dependencies
+ sudo apt install ttyrec screen debconf-utils deborphan &&
+ : create ttyrec file with adequate permissions &&
+ sudo touch /var/log/upgrade-trixie.ttyrec &&
+ sudo chmod 600 /var/log/upgrade-trixie.ttyrec &&
+ sudo ttyrec -a -e screen /var/log/upgrade-trixie.ttyrec
+
+ 2. Backups and checks:
+
+ (
+ umask 0077 &&
+ tar cfz /var/backups/pre-trixie-backup.tgz /etc /var/lib/dpkg /var/lib/apt/extended_states /var/cache/debconf $( [ -e /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates ] && echo /var/lib/aptitude/pkgstates ) &&
+ dpkg --get-selections "*" > /var/backups/dpkg-selections-pre-trixie.txt &&
+ debconf-get-selections > /var/backups/debconf-selections-pre-trixie.txt
+ ) &&
+ ( puppet agent --test || true )&&
+ apt-mark showhold &&
+ dpkg --audit &&
+ : look for dkms packages and make sure they are relevant, if not, purge. &&
+ ( dpkg -l '*dkms' || true ) &&
+ : look for leftover config files &&
+ /home/anarcat/src/koumbit-scripts/vps/clean_conflicts &&
+ : run backups &&
+ /home/anarcat/bin/backup-$(hostname) &&
+ printf "End of Step 2\a\n"
+
+ 3. Perform any pending upgrade and clear out old pins:
+
+ puppet agent --disable "running major upgrade" &&
+ apt update && apt -y upgrade &&
+ : Check for pinned, on hold, packages, and possibly disable &&
+ rm -f /etc/apt/preferences /etc/apt/preferences.d/* &&

+ : possibly clean up old kernels &&
+ dpkg -l 'linux-image-*' &&
+ : look for packages from backports, other suites or archives &&
+ : if possible, switch to official packages by disabling third-party repositories &&
+ apt-forktracer &&
+ printf "End of Step 3\a\n"
+
+ 5. Check free space (see [this guide to free up space][]), disable
+ auto-upgrades, and download packages:
+
+ systemctl stop apt-daily.timer &&
+ sed -i 's#bookworm-security#trixie-security#' $(ls /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*) &&
+ sed -i 's/bookworm/trixie/g' $(ls /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*) &&
+ apt update &&
+ apt -y -d full-upgrade &&
+ apt -y -d upgrade &&
+ apt -y -d dist-upgrade &&
+ df -h &&
+ printf "End of Step 4\a\n"
+
+[this guide to free up space]: http://www.debian.org/releases/trixie/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#sufficient-space
+
+ 5. Actual upgrade run:
+
+ : put server in maintenance &&
+ sudo touch /etc/nologin &&
+ env DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive APT_LISTCHANGES_FRONTEND=none APT_LISTBUGS_FRONTEND=none UCF_FORCE_CONFFOLD=y \
+ apt full-upgrade -y -o Dpkg::Options::='--force-confdef' -o Dpkg::Options::='--force-confold' &&
+ printf "End of Step 5\a\n"
+
+ 6. Post-upgrade procedures:
+
+ apt-get update --allow-releaseinfo-change &&
+ puppet agent --enable &&
+ puppet agent -t --noop &&
+ printf "Press enter to continue, Ctrl-C to abort." &&
+ read -r _ &&
+ (puppet agent -t || true) &&
+ : rm -f /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.dpkg-dist /etc/ca-certificates.conf.dpkg-old /etc/cron.daily/bsdmainutils.dpkg-remove /etc/default/prometheus-apache-exporter.dpkg-dist /etc/default/prometheus-node-exporter.dpkg-dist /etc/logrotate.d/apache2.dpkg-dist /etc/nagios/nrpe.cfg.dpkg-dist /etc/ssh/ssh_config.dpkg-dist /etc/ssh/sshd_config.ucf-dist /etc/unbound/unbound.conf.dpkg-dist &&
+ printf "\a" &&
+ /home/anarcat/src/koumbit-scripts/vps/clean_conflicts &&
+ systemctl start apt-daily.timer &&
+ printf "End of Step 6\a\n" &&
+ shutdown -r +1 "rebooting to get rid of old kernel image..."
+
+ 7. Post-upgrade checks:
+
+ export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 &&
+ sudo ttyrec -a -e screen /var/log/upgrade-trixie.ttyrec
+
+ apt-mark manual bind9-dnsutils puppet-agent
+ apt purge gcc-9-base gcc-10-base apt-forktracer
+ apt purge $(dpkg -l | awk '/^rc/ { print $2 }') # purge removed packages
+ apt autoremove -y --purge
+ apt purge $(deborphan --guess-dummy)
+ while deborphan -n | grep -q . ; do apt purge $(deborphan -n); done
+ apt autoremove -y --purge
+ apt clean
+ # review and purge older kernel if the new one boots properly
+ dpkg -l 'linux-image*'
+ # review packages that are not in the new distribution
+ apt purge '?obsolete'
+ apt list "?narrow(?installed, ?not(?codename($(lsb_release -c -s | tail -1))))" &&
+ printf "All procedures completed\a\n" &&
+
+## Conflicts resolution
+
+When the `clean_conflicts` script gets run, it asks you to check each
+configuration file that was modified locally but that the Debian
+package upgrade wants to overwrite. You need to make a decision on
+each file. This section aims to provide guidance on how to handle
+those prompts.
+
+Those config files should be manually checked on each host:
+
+ /etc/default/grub.dpkg-dist
+ /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf.dpkg-dist
+
+If other files come up, they should be added in the above decision
+list, or in an operation in step 2 or 7 of the above procedure, before
+the `clean_conflicts` call.
+
+Files that should be updated in Puppet are mentioned in the Issues
+section below as well.
+
+# Notable changes

A is the conflict file, B is the good version. good version has more
percent and extra annotations.
### Conflict 20240803-022141-P2R7L33.lua and 20240803-022217-P2R7L33.lua
Identical diff.
### .old conflict files
We assume those are useless (and, by the way, find the
`metadata.lua.old` to be equally garbage).

latter (normal version).

seems like metadata garbage, unreadable. other sync conflicts
identical

# Other notes
After dealing with *all* those conflicts, for some reason conflict
files *returned*. Again with the device ID `P2R7L3` which is, no
surprise, the kobo reader. That device has this weird issue that it
seems to rescan all files at each restart, and treats *all* of them as
new. This takes a ridiculously long time, of course, but more
crucially, is likely the cause of those conflicts.
In fact, while being on both devices, I cannot convince the kobo to
accept certain changes, namely deleting files.
Here are the notes i painfully wrote down to get there, then realizing
those conflicts *kept* coming and I had to fix the underlying
issues. this is kept here in case they come back.

A is the conflict file, B is the good version. good version has more
percent and extra annotations.
### Conflict 20240803-022141-P2R7L33.lua and 20240803-022217-P2R7L33.lua
Identical diff.
### .old conflict files
We assume those are useless (and, by the way, find the
`metadata.lua.old` to be equally garbage).

harder. conflicted version is marked as finished while current one
isn't, which is wrong. Note that the latter comes from the Android
device (`/storage/emulated`) and has a later timestamp: it's likely
the file was open there *after* the book was finished and that
erroneous state was saved.
Conflict file moved in place instead of actual file.

latter (normal version).

+
+ * too slow (e.g. Darktable used to be fast, but now fails at "just

+
+ * too roomy grids (e.g. geeqie has huge gaps around images, darktable

+ * clunky (e.g. Darktable used to have a <kbd>z</kbd> key to flip
+ between full screen preview of an image and the light table, that's
+ gone and I don't know how to find it again; geeqie's side panel is
