Re: Debian 1.1.2 is Released
As Guy says,
Wait a few days before downloading.
Things are not yet (IMHO) completely fixed _everywhere_ or at best
slightly confusing. To make it clear, and as Guy announced, the new boot
set is:
>Changes from Debian-1.1.1 are:
> base-1.1.0-14
> boot-floppies-1.1.1-10
> boot disks 1996-07-14
> kernel-headers, kernel-image, kernel-source 2.0.6
> xosview 1.3.2-4.11996-07-:
Please, in case you're in doubt, remember: The 1.1.2 is under the name
1996-07-14 and not 1996_7_14 (this last is the one that since 2 weeks ago
under buzz-updates/ without being stable/ or friends being properly linked
to it).
The files corresponding to the announced 1.1.2 release are time-stamped
on Friday or Saturday 27 (opppps! and even today...I am looking at them
right now... As I thought somebody was fixing things not so long ago now)
here is what I see _now_

Before you rush, check if your kernel on the installation boot disk (is a
DOS FAT remember? has the around Jul 14 date.
If so. Wait a few days a download the new ones. I heard and noticed that
2.0.0 had some buggy kbd but maybe some other important things were broken
in it (refer to Changelog and _ask_!)
As far as I am concerned, I will wait a few days before upgrading
_anyway_. Thanks for the job folk of Debian.
A suggestion (or a wish): it would be nice if _all_ the Debian releases,
were announced through the debian-announce and comp.os.linux.announce
Happy hacking!
Lazaro
P.S. If you insist I can prepare a longer posting with more details but
don't panic. Just wait until the mantainers work it out, and I am sure
they have done a lot of the fixing as far as the tree structure is
concerned. Notice that the opening message when pointing your browser to
ftp.debian.org/debian has been modified last friday. As I write this PS
ls-lr.gz is not accessible. It's yesterdays version (with the fixes done
today not reflected in it) so by the time you read this you can maybe
see the new one and just forget all my commments... I hope.
