## Old Business


## Old Actions

- Update point release notes.

- hands-on to amprolla, which had "locked up" again

that's a nuisance for multiarch
- rrq make list of the Devuan problem packages
- Centurion_Dan look at patch to dak to avoid this arising


## New Business

### golinux
- with (mostly) fsmithred have put together notes for the point release.
This for the desktop-live:

```

  - policykit-1 to fix CVE-2019-6133 and CVE-2018-19788

    is configurable in /etc/default/dbus
