Preparation of Debian GNU/Linux 4.1r3
=====================================
An up-to-date version is at <http://release.debian.org/stable/4.0/4.1r3/>.
We are preparing the next revision of the current stable Debian
distribution (sarge) and will frequently 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.
The overall plan is to release a new update of the stable Debian
distribution roughly two months after the last update or after the
initial release, whichever is suitable. The next revision of stable
should therefore be released at the mid of February or 48h before the
release of Etch, whatever comes first.
An ftpmaster still has to give the final approval for each package
since ftpmasters are responsible for the archive. However, we are
trying to make their work as easy as possible in hope to get the next
revision out properly and without any 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 to 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.
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 managers first (see
<http://www.debian.org/intro/organization>).

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.

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.
