Hi all, 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 8 (Jessie). 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 8 (Jessie) instead the current base of Debian Wheezy. Once you have switched to Jessie, please update your census page to reflect that if needed. Those of you who are willing to help finalise the release of Jessie 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. 1. https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/11/msg00003.html 2. http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/other/testing.html 3. http://udd.debian.org/bugs.cgi 4. http://wiki.debian.org/BSP 5. http://release.debian.org/jessie/freeze_policy.html 6. http://lists.debian.org/debian-derivatives 7. irc://irc.oftc.net/debian-derivatives Thanks, -- Jonathan Wiltshire jmw@debian.org Debian Developer http://people.debian.org/~jmw 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51
