Hi people, as you might have seen, a number of uploads happened lately and the d-i BoF notes from DebConf kindly provided by Steve (thanks!) reminded me about uploading d-i more often. So I think I'll try and achieve that as soon as linux 3.16 reaches testing (it was just uploaded to unstable, and FTBFSes on several architectures, so not this week ;)). Some things got set into motion, like syslinux menu overhaul (mainly discussion around the switch to graphical by default, didn't see any patch yet) or tasksel changes (alternative desktops, blends support). I'm unsure they're going to be ready at that point, so I guess it would make sense not to wait for them and publish another release in the meanwhile. I'll probably gather opinions when linux is ready, this mail is mainly meant to be a heads-up. → I'd like to know whether some bugs need special attention/fixes (besides what's in unstable already). I haven't looked at recent bugs lately but I think we might be missing at least a ttf-cjk-compact-udeb upload (which might explain some issues reported against debian-edu IIRC), and I failed to upload choose-mirror for the past release (Aurelien uploaded it 10 days ago though, to get updated arch lists). If you have possibly disruptive patches/updates pending, it would be nice to either communicate on the topic, or delay these until after the release. (Of course, if you're able to introduce them, and fix any issues before linux is ready, I'm fine with it.) [ I'm adding -bsd@ to the loop explicitly since there was quite some work lately (thanks to Steven who stepped up and quickly sent a fair number of patches), and I'd rather avoid forgetting/not knowing about some extra patches. ] [ And -cd@ so that the team knows a release is planned “soon”, in case some patches are in the works. ] Mraw, KiBi.
