--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Weekly News http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2001/7/ Debian Weekly News - March 6th, 2001 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to Debian Weekly News, a newsletter for the Debian community.
DPL election update: One more platform was posted, by [1]Bdale Garbee, who has quite a long history in Debian. Anand Kumria has not posted a platform. There has been a low level of discussion on debian-vote about the elections, but it's been healthily non-political and quite restrained. The campaigning period is winding down now, and elections begin on the 7th. It's another rough week for unstable trackers. [2]Pam was broken, breaking any services that use pam_limits.so, including ssh and cron (this is now fixed). More apt changes are afoot, and a major change to debconf just went into unstable, adding a real back-end database to that program at last. The recent bug squashing party was a great success; over the two day period, some [3]130 release critical bugs were dealt with. Of course there are [4]many more release critical bugs to fix before release. More bug squashing parties are planned.. The dates for the Debian Conference have [5]changed to prevent conflicts with other European events such as LinuxTag. The conference will be held "From Monday July the 2nd to Thursday July the 5th, in Bordeaux (France)". --------------------------------------------------------------------------- References 1. http://lists.debian.org/debian-project-0102/msg00066.html 2. http://lists.debian.org/debian-user-0103/msg00636.html 3. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0102/msg01810.html 4. http://master.debian.org/~wakkerma/bugs/ 5. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce-0102/msg00021.html -- see shy jo
