Bug#888918: release.debian.org: Update freeze policy for buster
Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal
Hi,
We should update the freeze policy for buster.
The bug is 1) a reminder of this fact and 2) a reminder of some
concrete improval suggestions:
* Remove references to priority extra (e.g. "priority: optional or extra")
* Add a reference to the list of key packages
=> https://udd.debian.org/cgi-bin/key_packages.yaml.cgi
* Add a more summary view of the milestones. Example table in [1].
Thanks,
~Niels
[1] People have been asking for a summary of which milestone applies
what policy change. The following table *could* be an example of
that.
