Slink wurde wegen Problemen in letzter Minute um eine Woche
verschoben :-(

From: Wichert Akkerman <leader@debian.org> 

  As some of you have probably noticed by now the slink release, which
  was scheduled for earlier today (or yesterday depending on your
  timezone).  This is not an error: the release for slink has been
  delayed by 1 week, so the actual release will happen on March 9,
  00:00 GMT.

  There are a couple of reaons for this delay, ranging from some
  internal struggles to upgrade-failures that were discovered at the
  last moment.  They will be sorted out during this week, so the final
  release should not have any problems.

  The slink release has been a learning experience, and I hope we can
  prevent the problems we had with this release in the future. All
  predicted major criseses have happened by now, so from here on the
  road should be smooth..

  Why delay?

  We've underestimated the severity of several bugs.  The bugs under
  consideration are:

  dpkg-dev crashed on non-English
	I have a simple workaround which simply shuts off i18n. I
	will upload an NMU tonight.

  pcmcia 2.0.34 not usable
	This is solved by simply removing it.  We provide 35 and 36 as
	well.  Hamm only provided 34.  Brian Mays, could you confirm this?

  procmail security error
 
  [...]
 
  As in other things, we are reaching a state where doing things by
  the seat of pants is becoming insufficient.  I intend to write a
  document which describes how release management should happen.  It
  will be a combination of implementation and policy, so I will post
  it here for review.  Hopefully we can improve the process for a
  potato release.
