Reviewing the timeline: 20 may sarge_d-i cds become the default for testing branch for rc1 string freeze begins 21-24 may testing and fixes 25 may string freeze ends translated udebs uploaded to archive before dinstall 26 may debconf4 begins translated udebs (with no code changes) put in testing initrd builds begin 27 may initrd builds finish, CD builds done begin major testing[2] 28 may testing continues.. 29 may testing continues.. 30 may go/no-go day - is it good enough to release? 31 may release day if go, else add fixes to testing and repeat 02 june end of debconf4 The string freeze has begin today. Branching the tree for rc1 has begun, and the sarge_d-i CDs, and other autobuilt boot images in unstable in the archive are available for testing. Please test those images and see if everything works and post installation reports or reports to this mailing list. We need to get the images tested on all arches over the next 3 days. Please do what testing you can, and invite anyone you know who has some interesting hardware to test with it. I've been moving several updated udebs to testing each day this week, and will keep doing that based on the web page <http://people.debian.org/~joeyh/d-i/testing-summary.html>. Please look over that page for things that need to go in and have not, and do testing or look at installation reports to see if the stuff works. The main thing I would like to get in still is partman, but that will require resolving the libdebian-installer/anna situation, so we can test it in unstable first. The following packages have code changes in svn that have not yet been uploaded to unstable. Some have older versions still waiting to enter testing, and an upload could further delay those from reaching testing; uploads of these should be done with caution and I've marked those with '*'; the others should be uploaded to unstable soon so the code changes can be checked and potentially get into testing in time. cdebconf * netcfg * aboot-installer silo-installer palo-installer colo-installer s390-netdevice s390-dasd main-menu partman * partman-target * partman-palo partman-newworld * (this list may be incomplete) By the way, I'm making an exception to all this <ahem> beauracracy for s390. If someone manages to get s390 in unstable working, or even mostly working, we can copy _all_ the s390 stuff to testing immediatly. For this arch, anything is better than nothing. Recent progress is looking promising, please let's finish porting to all arches for rc1! -- see shy jo
