December is near
Hi,
in order to carry on a tradition, I want to remind everybody of our
combined efforts to take care of some poor souls at this time of the year.
The days are closing in, the year is drawing to an end and we should think
of all those, that are not around with their own kind. Again, during the
last few months, lots of volunteers all around the world tracked down
those poor souls and put their cases in the database. We should take care
of those needy. This year, there are about 200 cases which are relevant
to Debian Med[1] (9 being serious[2]). So please feel pity for them and
allow the transition of as many as possible poor souls to their final
destination, the retirement community in the Archive. Maybe some of the
"won't fix" can be resolved as well.
Furthermore I would like to mention another page[3] with lots of information
about Debian Med packages. Besides the list of RC bugs you can also see
packages that can not be built on a Debian architecture, packages that are
not allowed to migrate from unstable to testing (and thus won't be
included in the next release) and packages with a new upstream version. I
think those packages need some care as well.
As soon as I get the notice of a closed case I will record that in our
Advent calendar[4]. As Debian is in freeze now, please also tell me of
any RC bug that you close in other packages.
In contrast to normal calendars, let us fill this special one with lots of
good deeds. Maybe we can hide at least one number of a closed case behind
every door.
Have fun,
Thorsten
