Well the target freeze date was announced a little over one year in advanced http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2013/10/msg00004.html Which should be sufficient time to land and start all transitions. One can continue completing the transitions after the freeze date & fixing FTBFS bugs. Which is another 3-4 months of development time (assuming a short freeze). If 1.25 years is not long enough, i'm not sure what is =) granted FreeBSD upstream is not going to release by Debian release freeze schedules. I see that 10 is currently scheduled for 2nd January if it doesn't slip. So it's a 8 months time window to start transitions, ~ 1 year till Debian release - deadline to finish everything. -- Regards, Dimitri. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
