`` Debian pushes development of kFreeBSD port October 7th, 2009 The Debian Release Team is pleased to announce that it sees the port of the Debian system to the FreeBSD kernel fit to be handled equal with the other release ports. The upcoming release codenamed 'Squeeze' is planned to be the first Debian distribution to be released with Linux and FreeBSD kernels. The kFreeBSD architectures for the AMD64/Intel EM64T and i386 processor architectures are now release architectures. Severe bugs on these architectures will be considered release critical the same way as bugs on other architectures like armel or i386 are. If a particular package does not build or work properly on such an architecture this problem is considered release-critical. '' A missing mount_nfs makes kFreeBSD pretty incomplete for use. The answers in this bug report makes the news announcement pretty misleading. Furthermore, the handling the problem in such a way > At most important, but may be even just wishlist: > I assume you did notice “package maintainer's or release manager's > opinion” here. Which of them are you? No need for severity ping pong. is pretty unfair for the good intention of users who are willing to follow Debian in this direction. A reasonable interpretation of the text of the news announcement would even make this issue "release-critical".
