This Week in Spectrum, 2025-W33
Going to keep it very brief this week because I'm once again recovering from a wisdom teeth extraction (the last one!). • Yureka's libbpf fix[1] has been applied upstream, and she's now working on exposing vhost-user-net devices from her userspace router. • Demi has been doing some exploratory work on using systemd on the Spectrum host system[2]. We want to evaluate whether the extra complexity would be justified to get access to its extensive sandboxing features. • Apart from recovering, I did a routine test build with a new Nixpkgs, and then spent a while bisecting a kernel regression that broke virtio-gpu[3] (which it turned out had already been discovered and reverted, but my report at least got it tracked by regzbot as well). We also did some work sorting out the new funding.
