I propose to dedicate the first ever release of Emdebian to be available on MIPS to the memory of Thiemo Seufer - just as Debian has dedicated Lenny to Thiemo. I'm preparing the release announcement for Grip and Crush (basing it closely on the Debian Lenny release announcement which has just been posted to the debian-i18n list for translation). I know it's last minute and that Grip was only an idea when Thiemo died but I feel it is right to mark the passing of someone so important to MIPS and Emdebian. Crush will, unless otherwise requested, be undedicated because it is only available for ARM and is such a difficult beast to use. ;-) It now looks inevitable that Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "lenny" will release on Saturday - whilst I'm at work. So, I'll be making the release of Emdebian GNU/Linux Grip 1.0 and Emdebian GNU/Linux Crush 1.0 on Saturday evening, 14th February 2009. I'll also be migrating the current toolchain packages in testing into stable and I will be migrating the current Emdebian TDebs in the locale repository into stable. As part of the release changes, I'll modify various pages so that Crush becomes uniformly available and described under the "crush/" directory and available via the http://www.emdebian.org/crush/ repository. The old "packages/" structure will be removed at some point later. All subsequent documentation on Crush will use to the new URL. The full release titles are: Emdebian GNU/Linux Grip 1.0 (based on Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "lenny"). Emdebian GNU/Linux Crush 1.0 (based on Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 "lenny"). The short release names are: Emdebian Grip 1.0 (lenny) Emdebian Crush 1.0 (lenny) The "common" names for the releases are: Emdebian Grip or Grip lenny Emdebian Crush or Crush lenny. Please use these names if promoting the releases elsewhere. Emdebian will continue to use the Grip and Crush titles for future releases and will continue to use the unstable, testing and stable suite names. Future releases are intended to continue following Debian in the codenames (lenny, squeeze etc.) and be tied firmly to Debian release schedules. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
