Hi all,
I note that some Debian derivatives are based on Debian stable. The
Debian release team have recently declared[1] that testing is frozen in
preparation for the upcoming release of Debian 7.0 (wheezy).
This means that if you have not already started, you will need to start
the migration of your stable release to be based on Debian 7.0 (wheezy)
instead the current base of Debian stable. Once you have switched to
wheezy, please update your census page to reflect that if needed.
Those of you who are willing to help finalise the release of wheezy are
encouraged to commit developer time to fixing the release critical
bugs[2][3], organise bug squashing parties[4] and to test upgrades from
Debian stable in order to find more issues that might need to be fixed.
At this time the release team are accepting non-RC fixes where
appropriate, based on their policy for freeze exceptions[5].
Please direct any questions you have to the derivatives list[6] or IRC
channel[7]. We strongly encourage you to join both of these.
