-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Hello Fellows,

We are near of Debian Lenny release and we do need to run to not be
late on its schedule. Here goes the planned timeline:

+-------------------+----------------------------------------------+

Releases at: October 5, 2008
Needed days: 38

For the ones who are looking carefully, will notice that we are not
going to have a period of testing of images. That is going to be done
since we'll change, for this release, the way we'll be doing tests.

Since Lenny and installer are frozen, the number of changes are rather
small and dailies and weekly builds will be taken as testing images. A
call  for testing  will  be send  to  debian-devel-announce and  beta2
images  will  be deprecated  on  installer  webpage.  Doing that,  any
noticed bug or regression will be  fixed and tested fastly and give us
more speed at this final stage of development of Lenny installer.

We need that sparc porters do the upload of 2.6.26 kernel packages.

The alpha, hppa, ia64, s390 and sparc porters need to upload the
modules packages too so we have the whole installer up to date
regarting the kernel support.

Once 2.6.26-4 binaries gets installed in all architectures, I'll do a
massupload and send the call for testing.

Cheers,
