Hello all, I'm writing in response to the email on the 13th announcing the upcoming freeze, tentatively occurring in the second half of June. I would have responded immediately, but wanted to make sure that I had all of my ducks in a row first.
I joined Eucalyptus in late November of last year and was hired to handle their releases atop Ubuntu and Debian, with a focus on inclusion in Debian itself. With a ton of help from Steffen, who mentored me through the DM process, Charles, who has been an active contributor to our efforts for some time, and others, I have been able to fill in the gaps of dependencies for Eucalyptus in preparation for uploading it to Sid - minus one - GWT. We have contracted that GWT work out to a Debian Partner company credativ, run by Chris Halls, a Debian Developer. They should be wrapping that work up by freeze. IRT to Eucalyptus itself, we have an internal goal date set of June 15th. While this *should* beat the freeze date, Steffen informs me it is generally frowned upon this close to freeze to upload a new package of such complexity, which is the reason I am writing you today. I'm hoping to get your blessing, or seal of approval, or at least an "ah, go ahead!" to upload Eucalyptus to Sid in mid-June. Thanks in advance for your time and consideration on the matter.
