As advertised on cdimage.debian.org, there are (still) _NO_ official CD images
of the first test cycle.
The reason is that we are still WAITING for several things to happen. We are
not going to release officially broken CDs, because broken CDs can't be
evaluated.
This is my current WaitingFor list: (comments are welcome!)
----------
alpha
- apt 0.3.19 install
- upgrade-alpha install (see #63890)
(Confirmed 05/13)
i386
- apt 0.3.19 install
- upgrade-i386 install (see #63890)
m68k
- apt 0.3.19 upload & install
- 2.2.13 floppies install
- upgrade-m68k install (see #63890)
(Confirmed 05/14)
ppc
- apt 0.3.19 install
- libc6 re-upload & re-install
sparc
- apt 0.3.19 install
- libc6-dev, 2.1.3-10.1 upload & install
- upgrade-sparc install (see #63890)
(Confirmed 05/13)
arm ???
- floppies ???
ARM will not release with 2.2 as there is no way to install it.
Maybe 2.2.1 if people are providing boot-stuff.

We will NOT be releasing official CD images before all this has been resolved.
(And yes, it's me who controls that, since I'm the webmaster of
cdimage.debian.org.)
I'd finally like to see some action from ftpmaster/release manager (i.e.
dark). He's being _extremely_ communicative to us CD people :-(
