Hi, (Thanks for the prod.) Niels Thykier <niels@thykier.net> (2016-02-02): > @Kernel+d-i - What is your take on the following: > > * How long will it take to have the new release ready? > - That is, the latency between the 22nd and us having it in unstable. > - How certain are we on the 22nd being the actual release date? > - [d-i]: How long will it take to have a d-i using the new linux > ready? Once the new ABI reaches unstable, d-i can be patched to use it instead of the old one. That's a one-liner patch. In case udebs are modified we might need to also update a few lists accordingly, but as usual that can be done proactively if the kernel team tells us that this or that udeb is getting dropped or added. Having people around to test d-i daily builds until the kernel reaches testing would be nice, so that we don't wait until the d-i upload (and maybe d-i image builds) using testing's kernel to get some feedback. Mraw, KiBi.
