Salut, La DPN est de retour dans les temps (dans sa version originale). Elle vient d'être finalisée, mais je n'ai pas commencé à bosser dessus. Plutôt que de répondre par un [ITT] formel, ce serait sympa si on pouvait se partager simplement les articles (mais si quelqu'un est motivé pour tout faire avant demain, je ne l'arrêterai pas ;-). Les articles à traduire : #1 Constantly Usable Testing (CUT) update #2 Bits from the FTP Team #3 Resume about this years Google Summer of Code #4 Bits from the Publicity Team #5 Autres nouvelles Les articles trois et quatre sont courts, n'hésitez pas pour autant à répondre au message pour déclarer votre intention de les traduire pour éviter que quelqu'un d'autre ne s'en occupe en même temps. La version originale à jour est sur le dépôt Subversion [1], la version française aussi [2] (c'est juste la trame pour l'instant, j'enverrai un appel formel à relecture quand elle sera finie, pour demain j'espère), si vous des corrections ou des propositions sur la version originale, n'hésitez pas. 1 : http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/publicity/dpn/en/current/index.wml 2 : http://svn.debian.org/viewsvn/publicity/dpn/fr/current/index.wml Amicalement David

Topics covered in this issue include:</p> <ul> <li><a href="#1">Constantly Usable Testing (CUT) update</a></li> <li><a href="#2">Bits from the FTP Team</a></li> <li><a href="#3">Resume about this years <q>Google Summer of Code</a></li> <li><a href="#4">Bits from the Publicity Team</a></li> <li><a href="#5">... and much more</a>.</li> </ul> <a name="1"></a> <h2>An update on Constantly Usable Testing (CUT)</h2> <p>Rahpaël Hertzog wrote a detailed article on the <a href="http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/406301/e28612e7adae5653/">recent activity surrounding the Constantly Usable Testing (CUT) proposal</a>. CUT is a Debian distribution based on testing, but with significant differences that make it more usable, i.e. more polished and stable. In the article he talks about the potential use of a <q>rolling</q> release and how that might work.<br> A quote from the article: <q>The global proposal is certainly appealing: it would address the concerns of obsolescence of Debian's stable release by making intermediary releases. Anyone needing something more recent for hardware support can start by installing a cut and follow the subsequent releases until the next stable version. And users who always want the latest version of all software could use rolling after having installed a cut.</q></p> <p> CUT seems to represent an innovative evolution of Debian distributions. While it holds much promise, it is a lot of work especially since there is already so much work getting a stable release actually released. There always seems to be a tension between having a rock solid stable release, which many people rely on Debian to provide, and a developer's toolkit with cutting edge programming languages and libraries. Perhaps CUT can address this. </p> <p> Please see also the current discussion on the <a href="http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/cut-team/2010-September/000152.html">cut team mailing list</a>. </p> <a name="2"></a> <h2>Bits from the FTPMasters</h2> <p>The previous weekend in Fulda, Germany the FTP Team met. While there appeared to be a shortage of Baklava, there was no shortage of Debian related work and discussion. Jörg Jaspert mentions in the meeting minutes that there is a new FTPMaster; Torsten Werner. Jörg also made a call for volunteers. Being an FTPMaster is a hard job and one that many people inside and outside of Debian take for granted. I'm sure I speak for more than just myself when I say thanks very much for the hard work FTPMasters.</p> <p>He also mentioned that <q>starting with squeeze, the volatile suites will be integrated into the normal ftp.debian.org mirror tree. This weekend we enabled squeeze-volatile on ftp-master and setup the needed scripts so that the volatile team can fill it with packages whenever needed. Please note that the general handling of volatile starting with squeeze is now different to the way volatile worked in the past. All packages now have to pass stable's proposed-updates queue before going into volatile.</q> </p> <p>Joerg goes on to discuss a number of important topics - I suggest you read his mail, it is quite detailed and has lots of valuable information - including the discussion of using a version control system to <q>push</q> entire repositories to the ftp-master. </p> <p> Further details on the <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2010/09/msg00139.html"> Debian Project mailing list.</a></p> <a name="3"></a> <h2>Resume about this years <q>Google Summer of Code</q></h2> <p>Obey Arthur Liu wrote a <a href="http://lists.debian.org/4C972B40.3080903@milliways.fr">report about Debian's participation in this years <q>Google Summer of Code</q></a>, where Google pays student to work on and with specific FLOSS projects. Debian was accepted as mentoring organisation for the fourth time in a row. Again it was a great success with eight students completing their projects sucesfull. He also quoted some of the student's project reports.</p> <p>The project ranged <q>Hurd port and de-Linux-ization of Debian-Installer</q> over <q>Debbugs Bug Reporting and Manipulation API</q> and <q>Aptitude Qt</q> up to <q>Debian-Installer on Neo FreeRunner and Handheld Devices</q>. You can find more details in <a href="http://wiki.debian.org/gsoc">Debian's wiki</a>.</p> <a name="4"></a> <h2>Bits from the Publicity Team</h2> <p>Debian's Publicity Team posted <a href="http://lists.debian.org/20100914103636.GS12469@melusine.alphascorpii.net">some bits</a> informing the Debian Developers, Contributors and the Community how best to get it contact with them and especially how to help.

It will still be available in Debian's <q>unstable</q> suite.</p> <p>Thomas Lange <a href="http://news.debian.net/2010/09/28/fai-home-has-moved/">announced</a> the FAI project got its domain at <a href="http://fai-project.org/"> http://fai-project.org/</a> and all services (wiki, repositories) have been migrated to use the new domain. </p> <p>Release Assistant Mehdi Dogguy announced the agenda of an upcoming <a href="http://lists.debian.org/4C9A5C3F.2080805@debian.org">meeting of the Release Team</a>.
