Moin, We need help by competent developers who work on apt 0.6 with the goal to get it supported properly and eventually enter sid and sarge.
There is a good chance the release will happen before the issues with apt 0.6 are resolved, so this may be a task that cannot address sarge in time but only etch and following distributions. Contributors should be aware of this. Quoting Andreas Barth from the release team: | Actually, we discussed about apt 0.6 within the release team and | with the maintainers. IIRC, the two blocking issues are: | | 1. All the concepts | - default installation, | - key management, | - how do security updates work | - ... | need some review | | 2. There is noone who started working on 1. | | (One part of 2. is that nobody made a summary after discussion, as | there is 2.) Hence, there are developers needed who: - are able to review apt 0.6 - are able to review the key management part and - design and discuss this with the release team - (re-)design and discuss package updates and security updates - take into account that the archive key is rotated yearly It would be a large step forward if sarge could include apt 0.6, so here is a chance to help improve sarge a lot.
