December
Hi everybody,
how time flies! This time of the year has come again and in order to carry
on a tradition, I want to remind everybody of our combined efforts to
take care of some poor souls.
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 only about 150 cases which are
relevant to Debian Med[1] (only 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].
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
