In general how frequently do these releases come out?

Many thanks for any planning guidance you can provide.

Assuming that you are referring to stable point releases, as you imply, the rule of thumb is that we schedule at two-month intervals for stable (three months for oldstable). However, that depends on the calendars of a number of people across the world, so it is a rule of thumb only. 8.2 has overrun considerably.

Coordination happens primarily on debian-release@lists.debian.org if you want to watch out for it, and when known the release dates are posted to https://release.debian.org. Releases are normally on a Saturday and you can expect the results to be on mirrors by at least the Sunday morning.

Further queries are probably best directed to debian-release; m-f-t set.

For the release team:
