Welcome to this year's issue of DPN, the newsletter for the Debian community. Topics covered in this issue include:

## rc-paragraph. We have three different vars: # release: is the codename for the current testing # testing: is the number of bugs as defined by this UDD query → # http://udd.debian.org/bugs.cgi?release=wheezy_and_sid&patch=&pending=&security=&wontfix=&upstream=&unreproducible=&forwarded=&claimed=&deferred=¬main=¬wheezy=&base=&standard=&merged=&done=&outdatedwheezy=&outdatedsid=&needmig=&newerubuntu=&fnewer=&fnewerval=7&rc=1&sortby=source&sorto=asc&cpopcon=1&cseverity=1&ctags=1 # tobefixed: is the number of bugs as defined by this UDD query → # http://udd.debian.org/bugs.cgi?release=wheezy_and_sid&patch=ign&pending=ign&security=ign&wontfix=&upstream=&unreproducible=&forwarded=&claimed=ign&deferred=ign¬main=ign¬wheezy=&base=&standard=&merged=ign&done=ign&outdatedwheezy=&outdatedsid=&needmig=&newerubuntu=&fnewer=&fnewerval=7&rc=1&sortby=source&sorto=asc&cpopcon=1&cseverity=1&ctags=1 # # example: #

According to the Bugs Search interface of the Ultimate Debian Database, the upcoming release, Debian , is currently affected by Release-Critical bugs. Ignoring bugs which are easily solved or on the way to being solved, roughly speaking, about Release-Critical bugs remain to be solved for the release to happen.

There are also some hints on how to interpret these numbers.

## this one regards wnpp, and variables are: # link: link to the mail report from wnnp@debian.org to # debian-devel@lists.debian.org for the current week # # orphaned: the number of packages orphaned according to $link # rfa: the number of packages up for adoption according to $link # # example: #

Currently packages are orphaned and packages are up for adoption: please visit the complete list of packages which need your help.

# this is the final paragraph: no vars in here, you just need to put the # tag as it is at the end of the file (just before the editor line) # example: #

Please help us create this newsletter. We still need more volunteer writers to watch the Debian community and report about what is going on. Please see the contributing page to find out how to help. We're looking forward to receiving your mail at debian-publicity@lists.debian.org.
