  • Slightly off-topic, but I hate that this website only loads the images after I scroll to them. Is that the website doing that, or my browser?

    I spent ages looking at one near the top and in the meantime, my browser could have been loading all the images further down the page. But instead it didn’t, and so when I scrolled down, now it has to load each image as I reach it. I estimate about 16MB of images in total, since each thumbnail is actually the full size image.



  • Thanks for the reply.

    Currently, most packages are built from git HEAD on alpine:edge or debian-unstable build containers. So if the fix for this affected libwebp is shipped to the images that the build containers are based on (likely because we use edge/unstable images), then any affected packages would also automatically receive this fix.

    How often do packages get rebuilt? Is it only when there’s a new version? The problem in that case would be that a package that is no longer developed (or has very long release cycles) would not receive the fix.
