The code freeze for the next Debian release, code named "potato", has begun. From now on, until the release, there will be three distributions available on our servers: `stable', `frozen', and the new `unstable'.
The new `unstable', code named "woody"[1], was created today. The frozen and unstable distributions start out with the same set of packages, but unstable will be updated rapidly, while frozen will have only bugfixes applied in preparation for its release. We expect the freeze process to take about two months. Richard Braakman Debian Release Manager [1] Debian releases are code-named after characters from the movie Toy Story. Woody is the main character, the cowboy action figure.
