Hi, there was one bit about the handling of the freeze that was not well communicated in the previous release announcement: | Packages that are present in unstable the day we freeze will be | automatically allowed into testing, that is, the freeze date (next | weekend) does not mean your package should be in testing by then, | but only in unstable. I'm sending this in a mail by its own because I think it's very important we avoid uploads like this: * Urgency high to meet freeze deadline. * Urgency medium to try to beat the release. * Urgency high to reach testing in time before freeze. Not only these mean they'll get less testing in unstable, but they sound as if the uploads were prepared in a hurry, which means higher chance of bugs. Please take the extra few days to **test your uploads well**!! (If you mistakenly abused urgency as above and would like to, feel free to send a mail to -release asking for a full 10-day waiting period.) Thanks, -- Adeodato Simó your emergency RA of the day
