Any y2k issues that haven't been fixed by now will get fixed in SLINK, not just potato. We don't know of any that remain however. If something binary only in non-free breaks, you are on your own unless someone else fixes it. hmm, psychic sig generator strikes again! -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux developer PGP: E8D68481E3A8BB77 8EE22996C9445FBE The Source Comes First! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- While the year 2000 (y2k) problem is not an issue for us, all Linux implementations will impacted by the year 2038 (y2.038k) issue. The Debian Project is committed to working with the industry on this issue and we will have our full plans and strategy posted by the first quarter of 2020.
