Hello Joeyh, * Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net> [2004-01-01 05:35]: | Happy New Year, everyone! | | I have not managed to download the ISO yet (phone troubles), but I am | fairly sure that the New Years Eve ISO images will fix nearly all the | outstanding showstoppers for i386. There are one or two more important | but not essential things pending[1], and they will make it into the Jan | 1st or 2nd images. So I'm fairly confident that d-i will be in a | releaseable state for i386 by this weekend. maybe you can delay this process a little bit. alioth is currently down, and I have reinstalled my hppa machine this morging. I think we should beta release as many architectures as possible! Please create a freeze of the images for one arch and wait some days to freeze other archs. After this delay we can release two or three archs. | Of course that leaves the ports. Both powerpc and ia64 have made progress | in the past couple of days: | - powerpc daily builds are back | - powerpc isos being created again | - powerpc kernel issues partially straightened out I have tested the latest images (31.12.2003) from manty's repository. The cdrom's works well on my iBook2 but I have found two minor problems: 1. why the DEBCONF_PRIOPRITY is set to "low"? 2. I'm unable to debootstrap any distribution. isn't this an known bug busybox? Summary: powerpc images are beta2 ready! :-) manty: please change DEBCONF_PRIORITY to "high" in: install/powermac/yaboot.conf | So my new plan is, as soon as i386 is releasable, to work to migrate the | current set of debian-installer udebs and images to testing. AJ has | agreed to do this without the usual testing delay stuff, all in one | lump. After that is complete, we will make a "beta2" branch in the CVS | tree, and open HEAD to development. However, we will *not* upload | developmental udebs to unstable, because that would make it hard to get | any fixes into testing -- so anyone who wants to do work in HEAD will | have to set up their own udeb repository or upload to experimental or | something. Uploads to unstable will be reserved for changes to fix | porting problems. Once a port is ready for release, it will be copied to | testing the same as i386 was. please do it for powerpc also. Bye Thorsten
