Preparation of the next stable Debian GNU/Linux update ====================================================== An up-to-date version is at <http://people.debian.org/~joey/3.0r3/>. In order not to spam developers too much, and since similar mails have been sent to debian-devel-announce without any effect (update), I was asked to move the mails to debian-release instead. Here it goes. I am sorry for not being able to send out the entire document, though, but the preparation efforts list has grown so much that the large mail is rejected at the Debian listserver due to its sheer size. I am preparing the third revision of the current stable Debian distribution (woody) and will infrequently send reports so people can actually comment on it and intervene whenever this is required. If you disagree with one bit or another, please reply to this mail and explain why these things should be handled differently. There is still time to reconsider. The plan is to release this revision at some time in the future, hopefully before the release of sarge. It may be the last update if no updates to 3.0 are possible after sarge has been released. An ftpmaster still has to give the final approval for each package since ftpmaster are responsible for the archive. However, I will try to make their work as easy as possible in the hope to get the next revision out properly and without too much hassle. The regulations for updates to the stable Debian release are quite conservative. The rules are described at the URL given above.
