During the last meeting of the D-I 'team' (ahem) which logs can be read from http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/Meetings, the situation of the kernel packages wrt testing transition was raised. Apparently, having a new kernel in testing (whether this is 2.6.30 or whatever other funky new version appears soon is not really relevant) is quite hairy. Indeed hairy enough for this to not have happened since the release of lenny, 5 months ago. Among other things, that is a blocker for a release of D-I, which is otherwise nearly ready. From what was said during the D-I meeting (but more details can be bringed in by people who are more aware of this than me), a transition for D-I packages is similar to a library transition. http://release.debian.org/migration/testing.pl?package=linux-2.6 Could this be prioritized by the involved teams (mostly kernel and release, I'd guess) or are there already some plans for this to happen? (please respect Reply-To as -release is not meant to be a discussion list and the topic doesn't have much to do with D-I...except that we need this to happen for a release to happen) --
