Hi, We want to start off this mail by thanking everyone who has put effort into fixing our outstanding release-critical bugs, the maintainers who have respected the freeze upload policy, and everyone else who contributed to Debian "etch" so far.
That was the good news. Unfortunately, there is also the bad side: due to several grave security problems in some of the core packages, we cannot release "etch" as originally planned[0] on 2 Apr 2007. By rough calculation, we are looking at another 4-6 weeks of work to get our archive into a releasable state. *** Note that Debian "sarge" is *not* affected by any of this. *** Due to the critical nature of the problems found, we deem it appropriate to choose the path of responsible disclosure and thus cannot give further details at this moment. Please stay tuned for updates in the next few days. We will continue to stay in deep freeze meaning that you must continue to observe the upload policies. You are most welcome to use the extra time to flesh out and make some love to the release notes. We are sorry for any inconvenience, but we can assure you that you are not the only one screwed on this lovely April Sunday morning. Your release team. 0. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2007/03/msg00012.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
