Collabora engineers will give talks on futex2, pristine-lfs (a Git LFS-based replacement for pristine-tar for Debian packaging), apt-offline, and open source AI video analytics using Panfrost. The post also briefly describes pristine-lfs as an alternative to pristine-tar that avoids the compressor-reconstruction problem by storing tarballs via Git LFS. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is pristine-lfs and how does it differ from pristine-tar for Debian packaging? pristine-lfs is a replacement for pristine-tar that avoids the hard problem of byte-for-byte compressor output reconstruction. Instead of regenerating compressed tarballs by mimicking old compressor quirks, it stores the tarballs directly using Git LFS alongside the repository. Git LFS is supported by GitLab (including Salsa), GitHub, and other major hosting providers, making it practical for Debian maintainers. _Developers working on Debian packaging workflows track tools like pristine-lfs on daily.dev._ --- Tags: [#open-source](https://daily.dev/tags/open-source), [#linux](https://daily.dev/tags/linux) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/one-weekend-two-conferences-npjajmn5p) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"One weekend, two conferences","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/one-weekend-two-conferences-npjajmn5p","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/one-weekend-two-conferences-npjajmn5p"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T08:56:17.444Z","dateModified":"2026-08-11T09:33:19.953Z","description":"Collabora is sponsoring and presenting at two virtual conferences happening the same weekend: linux.conf.au (January 23-25, UTC+11) and MiniDebConf India...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/0c9f7e2f84f8cc0fb682a6587e60def0?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/0c9f7e2f84f8cc0fb682a6587e60def0?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"Collabora Blog","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Collabora Blog","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--ZGZ0FjqS--/f_auto,q_auto/v1786438306/logos/collabora?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/collabora"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/one-weekend-two-conferences-npjajmn5p","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"open-source,linux","timeRequired":"PT3M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Collabora Blog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/collabora"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"One weekend, two conferences"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/one-weekend-two-conferences-npjajmn5p#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is pristine-lfs and how does it differ from pristine-tar for Debian packaging?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"pristine-lfs is a replacement for pristine-tar that avoids the hard problem of byte-for-byte compressor output reconstruction.
