Hi, I won't quote my last mail about temporary freezes for udeb-producing packages in full, it's available here: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2024/12/msg00001.html Instead I'll focus on that part near the end: Looking at the previous release cycles, such freezes usually last for a few days only, from a given debian-installer upload until installation images have been built successfully, and haven't found to be crippled with obvious bugs. For various reasons, I'll be trying to get D-I Trixie RC 1 out this week, and I might freeze udeb-producing packages right away, or in the very next few hours/days. I do realize it might make some maintainers nervous as the next few days are the last ones before the hard freeze (scheduled 2025-05-15), and I do apologize for creating this awkward situation. That being said, the release team has agreed (should it be needed) to have at least one britney run between my unfreezing udeb-producing packages, and implementing the hard freeze. Be assured I'll do my best to keep the “udeb freeze” to a minimum. Thanks for your understanding and your patience.
