Preparation of the next stable Debian GNU/Linux update (I)
Preparation of the next stable Debian GNU/Linux update
======================================================
An up-to-date version is at <http://people.debian.org/~joey/3.0r6/>.
I am preparing the next revision of the current stable Debian
distribution (woody) and will frequently send reports so people can
actually comment on it and intervene whenever this is required. It is
scheduled for any time now.
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 roughly two months after the last
update. It is required that this happens before the release of sarge
since the Debian archive infrastructure can't cope with updates of
stable and oldstable. Hence, this update is planned for the end of May.
An ftpmaster still has to give the final approval for each package
since ftpmasters are responsible for the archive. However, I'm trying
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 requirements for packages to get updated in stable are:
1. The package fixes a security problem. An advisory by our own
Security Team is required. Updates need to be approved by the
Security Team.
2. The package fixes a critical bug which can lead into data loss,
data corruption, or an overly broken system, or the package is
broken or not usable (anymore).
3. The stable version of the package is not installable at all due to
broken or unmet dependencies or broken installation scripts.
4. All released architectures have to be in sync.
5. The package gets all released architectures back in sync.
It is (or (and (or 1 2 3) 4) 5)
Regular bugs and upgrade problems don't get fixed in new revisions for
the stable distribution. They should instead be documented in the
Release Notes which are maintained by Rob Bradford
<mailto:robster@debian.org> and are found at
<http://www.debian.org/releases/woody/releasenotes>.
Packages, which will most probably be rejected:
. Packages that fix non-critical bugs.
. Misplaced uploads, i.e. packages that were uploaded to 'stable
unstable' or `frozen unstable' or similar.
. Packages for which its binary packages are out of sync with regard
to all supported architectures in the stable distribution.
. Binary packages for which the source got lost somehow.
. Packages that fix an unusable minor part of a package.
If you would like to get a package updated in the stable release, you
are advised to talk to the stable release manager first (see
<http://www.debian.org/intro/organization>).
Accepted Packages

These packages will be installed into the stable Debian distribution
and will be part of the next revision.

Requires further Investigation
------------------------------
These packages need further investigation. One reason the package is
listed here could be that I'm not yet convinced this package should go
into stable, but don't want to reject it entirely at the moment.
Another reason could be that released and updated architectures are
not yet in sync.

Support the Acorn RiscStation architecture.
Alastair McKinstry: The console-common change for Acorn
RiscStation is included in the current boot-floppies since
2002/08/12; it is in kbdconfig.c 1.68; boot-floppies 3.0.23
shipped with kbdconfig.c 1.66. As I understand it, this is not
the current shipping woody, but these machines only boot with
this updated, modified boot-floppies and console-common.
Hence, only needed for updated boot-floppies, probably for r3
then.

* initial release of kernel image packages for ia64 based on 2.4.19
* turn off broadcom gigE driver, change tg3 from module to built-in
* lose several patches from previous kernel builds now merged upstream
* update config files for 2.4.19
New packages, rationale still:
The 2.4.17 bits which were used to generate the original woody boot floppies
have some ugly bugs, are not being updated, and generally are not useful
any more. Every problem reported on debian-ia64 starts with a request that
the user move to at least 2.4.19.
HP has shipped products using the 2.4.19 and 2.4.20 kernel images currently
in Debian's mirror network, which means they've been through serious testing
and meet HP product quality standards. The same is not true of the 2.4.17
images, as woody was released before HP shipped our first Itanium 2 products.
Some newer systems cannot even be installed with 2.4.17 based boot floppies,
we work around that by making alternate installation media available from HP
based on fresher kernels. Even on the systems where 2.4.17 is ok for
install, I don't recommend anyone run a 2.4.17 kernel on any real system.
When new boot-floppies are uploaded, they'll use this kernel,
then the kernel will be updated as well.

* Fixed a stupid cut'n'paste bug in the patch for the 2.4.18

1.14i-2.woody4: said security update, too many changes
lsb stable 1.1.0-11 all source
lsb updates 1.2-5.woody.1 all source
Support LSB 1.2 in woody. Includes all changes through 1.2-6 in sid.
This package is not sufficient to make Debian stable LSB 1.3
compliant. The only approved LSB version is 1.3. According
to Anthony also required: alien, kernel-(headers|source|image)
2.4.19 and glibc, pax. According to Tobias Burnus
start-stop-daemon needs to be altered as well. lsb.deb needs
another backport.
Matt Taggart wrote: The separate OpenI18N standard was merged
into the LSB at 1.3 so there are additional requirements that
are being tested for now. These are mostly requirements on
the commands provided by the LSB and _will_ require patches to
fix. I do not know if the patches have been accepted upstream
yet. There's a rumor that they affect performance. there may
need to be additional changes to glibc for the new test
suites.
I don't think that we can meet the LSB 1.3 with Debian stable
without too many changes, hence LSB updates will be rejected.
Newsflash: Maybe it's still possible to meet the LSB
testsuite. To be discussed after 3.0r2.

Rejected Packages
-----------------
These packages don't meet the requirements and will be rejected (if
katie supports that, otherwise we'll just carry them with us until the
end of time).
Removed Packages
----------------
These packages will be removed from the stable Debian distribution.
This normally only a result of license problems when the license
prohibits their distribution.

This list intends to help the ftp-masters releasing 3.0r6. They have the
final power to accept a package or not. If you want to comment on
