A point release of Debian Squeeze 6.0.6 is planned: http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2012/09/msg00664.html I'll be pushing updates for Emdebian Grip 2.0.5 into squeeze-proposed-updates tomorrow. http://www.emdebian.org/grip/dists/squeeze-proposed-updates/ As before, this will be a catch-up release. Updating stable is a manual process and currently means that the "updates" don't actually get time to be tested as Emdebian packages before the point release. This is advance notice such that if you do *not* want to have your Emdebian Grip stable release updated in parallel with Debian, then now is the time to create a snapshot for internal use etc. See reprepro (1). Point releases are the only time when the ReadOnly flag on the stable release is temporarily removed. All packages already in Emdebian Grip stable which are updated in the appropriate Debian point release will receive updates in Emdebian Grip stable. It is not anticipated that these updates will require the addition of new packages (except possibly updated kernels). You can check the list yourself via the current contents of squeeze-proposed-updates on your favourite Debian mirror. Full details of the point release will be available via the update logs on the emdebian.org website and as a News article on the main Emdebian website. Currently, there are no packages in squeeze-proposed-updates. Once the point release is made, all packages in squeeze-proposed-updates will migrate into squeeze and old versions of those packages *will* be removed from the archive and from the mirrors. So watch the updates-log once it is created, if you want to know what updates will be pushed into stable next weekend. (The existing squeeze-log will be compressed and a new squeeze-log created when the point release happens.) http://emdebian.org/grip/logs/ http://www.emdebian.org/News/ The existing mirrors for Emdebian Grip will receive the updates and the point release as usual, so please use one of those when actually upgrading machines or creating snapshots. http://www.emdebian.org/grip/index.html#mirrors Plans for Wheezy and beyond --------------------------- Emdebian Grip 3.0.0 (based on Debian GNU/Linux Wheezy) will follow the Debian Wheezy 7.0.0 release just as soon as I can manage. (Last time it was within an hour, i.e. before the mirrors had time to update). Although a new stable release is a major strain on the debian mirrors infrastructure, adding an Emdebian Grip stable release is largely insignificant. Once Grip packages are handled via the updates currently being applied to dak by Ansgar Burchardt, then packages will be updated for Grip at the same time as for Debian via blavet.debian.org. http://db.debian.org/machines.cgi?host=blavet At that point, Emdebian Grip will jump ahead from 3.0.0 (based on Debian GNU/Linux 7.0.0 Wheezy) to 8.0.0 (based on Debian GNU/Linux 8.0.0 Jessie). I expect that updates to wheezy-grip will be done automatically once the new dak support is ready, so it is likely that wheezy-grip users will get a chance to test *-proposed-updates-grip for longer. -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
