Debian Weekly News - March 6th, 2001
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Debian Weekly News, a newsletter for the Debian community.
DPL election update: One more platform was posted, by [1]Bdale Garbee,
who has quite a long history in Debian. Anand Kumria has not posted a
platform. There has been a low level of discussion on debian-vote
about the elections, but it's been healthily non-political and quite
restrained. The campaigning period is winding down now, and elections
begin on the 7th.
It's another rough week for unstable trackers. [2]Pam was broken,
breaking any services that use pam_limits.so, including ssh and cron
(this is now fixed). More apt changes are afoot, and a major change to
debconf just went into unstable, adding a real back-end database to
that program at last.
The recent bug squashing party was a great success; over the two day
period, some [3]130 release critical bugs were dealt with. Of course
there are [4]many more release critical bugs to fix before release.
More bug squashing parties are planned..
The dates for the Debian Conference have [5]changed to prevent
conflicts with other European events such as LinuxTag. The conference
will be held "From Monday July the 2nd to Thursday July the 5th, in
Bordeaux (France)".
