admin Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago This week's work centers on release pipeline modernization, desktop and userland refinements, and board and kernel platform maintenance.On the release and CI side, the build matrix gained codename parameterisation with Ubuntu 26.04 "resolute" set as default, a dedicated Bianbu target, and exposed map overrides, while standard-support targets now include UEFI desktops and a plain cloud variant. The KDE fast-HDMI matrix was switched from kde-neon to kde-plasma, mesa-vpu was dropped from auto-attached extensions, and external CI now skips slots with a warning when upstream sources break. Supporting fixes route forky/loong64 base-files lookups to the main archive and add AI cover image generation to the blog workflow.Desktop and userland changes focus on the Bianbu environment, where PVR DRI was enabled, detection corrected, menu entries added, systemd suspend re-enabled on K1, and gnome-initial-setup purged post-install. Broader fixes pass --allow-downgrades on pinned package installs, align LAN/WAN labels across IPv4 and IPv6 rows in the MOTD, harden console-width handling against invalid COLUMNS values, and correct output to /etc/armbian-image-release.Platform support sees explicit ARCH=arm64 declarations on five inheriting boards, validate-board-config now following inheritance from ${SRC}/config/boards, and targeted fixes for imx8m binman hooks and rockchip family tweaks under forky (addgroup → groupadd). Kernel and DTS work restores 6.18.y on sm8550, syncs CAINIAO CNIoT-CORE DTS from 6.18 to 6.12, disables broken drm/xe patches under uefi-loong64-7.0, and improves the SMART AM40 and Retroid Pocket board definitions.
