[u-u] The Y2038 issue and Debian 13 (aka: "Trixie")

[Colin McGregor]

Below is a story about where Debian 13 (aka: "Trixie") stands
regarding the Y2038 issue. In quick summary the Y2038 issue is that
time in the current stable Debian release (and to the best of my
knowledge all other Linux distributions) stores time as a 32 bit
number with the number of seconds since January 1st, 1970 AD. After
03:14:07 UTC on January 19, 2038 you may have Linux systems thinking
it is 1970.

 "Trixie" will be the first Debian release to use 64 bit time. so they
will be kicking the issue of running out of time from 2038 to
40,000,000,000 A.D. which should be good enough for most applications
:-) . Trixie is in final testing with a final release date not yet
announced, so this is in the "coming soon" class...

For anyone who is saying to themselves this doesn't matter to me
because I run ..."<<Blah>>"... Linux remember that a bunch of other
Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu and Raspberry Pi OS are based off
of Debian, so this change will ...echo... well outside just Debian.
