Plucky Puffin is now open for development
We're pleased to announce that Plucky Puffin is now open for development.
Toolchain notes:
* perl 5.40 and haskell / ghc 9.6.6 already migrated to the release pocket, to avoid entanglement with other transitions.
* dpkg-buildflags defaults to -O3 instead of -O2. This might require changes in package builds. Please be aware that we already build with-O3 on ppc64el, so look for possible packaging adjustments.
Auto-sync has been enabled and will run soon. As usual, we expect a large influx of builds and autopkgtests in this initial period, which will cause delays. Please help fixing any breakage that occurs.

Paride Legovini has announced that Ubuntu Linux 25.04 (Plucky Puffin) is now available for development. It includes updates to perl 5.40 and haskell/ghc 9.6.6, as well as a default value of -O3 for dpkg-buildflags. Auto-sync is enabled, although delays may occur owing to a high volume of builds and autopkgtests.
