Hello, first of all, I should mention I'll quickly follow up on the tests report I sent past week; apparently the situation is much better than I initially thought… (buggy test platform FTL!) Accordingly, we might be close to a release, so help is needed to get the announcement ready! I've moved the announce page for wheezy alpha 1 to: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/ReleaseAnnounceWheezyAlpha1 So this page is ready to receive additions, but read on for more details: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/ReleaseAnnounce I've committed the first half of a tool to diff two d-i uploads, based on the available logs on buildd.debian.org; it's not a perfect way to list all changes between two d-i releases, but that's still better than nothing. Based on all packages which were “Get:”'d according to the build logs, on all architectures, it generates a report available at: http://people.debian.org/~kibi/wheezy-di-beta1/report.txt [ Source: scripts/prepare-release-announce ] Package disparities due to the i386 upload of d-i alpha 1 and the amd64 upload of d-i beta 1 were filtered out, along with the package renaming due to the (linux) kernel ABI bump. From there, it would be nice to figure out which (user-visible) changes happened, based on the list of added/removed packages for one thing, and based on the actual changes for the updated packags for another. I've built a page with all relevant changes: http://people.debian.org/~kibi/wheezy-di-beta1/changelogs.html [ That tool will be added to the repository once it's cleaned up a little. ] Unfortunately it looks like packages.qa.debian.org isn't able to perform the binary-to-source lookup for all of them, so we have a few of them in the “No source/changelog match” category. From a quick look, many of them seem to be GNU/kFreeBSD-related (kernel update there too), though. I've pasted bits of both pages to the ReleaseAnnounce wiki page so that one can go and examine this or that package, add the relevant entries in the appropriate section, and remove that package from the todo list. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/ReleaseAnnounce The todo list has 3 sections: Removed/added packages Unknown package changelogs to review Package changelogs to review It is followed by the actual draft. Thanks for your help. Mraw, KiBi.
