I will be stopping the Emdebian Grip update task today. This means that all updates of Emdebian Grip unstable and testing from now until the release of Debian Squeeze 6.0 will be manual, matching the movements within Debian as managed by the release team. This allows time for the Emdebian Grip 1.0 release to get a point release - Emdebian Grip 1.1 (based on Debian 5.0.5 "Lenny") which basically involves synchronising stable-proposed-updates with current Debian stable and then moving those updates into stable. Second, I'll be fixing Emdebian Grip Squeeze - adding packages from the frozen Debian squeeze sets to fill holes in the dependency chains, removing obsolete packages and other cruft that may have been missed before, forcing relevant packages into more suitable components to match the dependency requirements. (The 'main' component will seek to have all dependencies met, other components will be a "best effort".) No new sets of packages will be added to Emdebian Grip - only missing dependencies of what already exists. Existing dependencies will not be changed either - there'll be no removal of groff-base or mandb or other things like that because Emdebian is frozen too. (When Debian freezes, so does Emdebian Grip.) Emdebian Crush will definitely not see a release alongside Squeeze. There will be no further experiments with Crush, there might be a few tweaks to pdebuild-cross or multistrap etc. but those will only go into Debian experimental. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
