ELTS
- gimp
- Common work with LTS
- Work in progress
- Clean-up unsupported package from work queue
Common documentation and tooling
- doc
- ARM local debug: debug failing ARM build or autopkgtest locally,
using unexpensive Raspberry Pi 400. ARM emulation (virtual
machines) are too slow on PC, and ELTS dists are not available on
Debian porter boxes, (and there are several simulatenous issues
with ARM testing on Debian and Freexian), so this fills the gap.
