I'm starting the test cycle, in the sense that I will no longer install packages unless they are explicitly needed for boot-floppies or CD image creation.
I will still have to make some changes tomorrow, mainly removal of broken packages. These should not affect the boot-floppies except that I may have to arrange an NMU of task-japanese. Will that be a problem? I also assume that you will need these packages to be installed tomorrow: - dpkg 1.6.13 for whatever architectures it is available (these are recompiles, but I have to install them by hand) - kernel-patch-2.2.15-powerpc, or whatever it was called. I'm also going to assume that kernel-images uploaded to frozen are specifically intended for use in the boot-floppies. For anything else, please tell me directly or via debian-release. Since this will be the first day of the cycle, the architectures are still out of sync and the autobuilders may need some time to catch up. I hope that the person compiling boot-floppies for each architecture is aware of the situation for that architecture, because I don't have an overview of that. Richard Braakman
