Heya folks! We're doing an emergency mid-week sync to address the recent ca-certs issue, and the PHP issue. You can probably expect more random updates over the coming days as more affected packages are found and updated. discuss.getsol.us/d/13080-week... #FOSS #Linux #Solus #OpenSource - Evan

Important! With this week's kernel updates, nvidia-470-glx-driver-current and nvidia-developer-driver-* are being deprecated! If you are using the 470 driver, you will have to switch to the LTS kernel!

Just an FYI, our current kernel (6.18.23) is unaffected by the Copyfail exploit.

Heya folks! We've encountered some issues with Nvidia and the 7.0.x kernel. Therefore, the decision has been made to delay this week's sync by a few days to get everything working and settled. Stay tuned, and happy Friday! #Solus #Linux #OpenSource #FOSS - Evan

RSSGuard has been updated to 5.0.4. The 5.x series sees a major overhaul to the project. Many things have changed, and some past features may no longer be supported. Custom filters may break, and settings will be reset. The old 4.x series database is not compatible.
