Mostly, I just read debian-devel and other lists, and pay attention to what's going on when I upgrade unstable and what co-workers say. I also helped with both the recent glibc and perl problems. Virtually all of Debian happens on mailing lists - if you follow enough of the important ones, you can get a pretty good idea of what's going on. There are also bug lists at http://bugs.debian.org/~cjwatson/severity.cgi which often record the worst things that are wrong at the moment. It'd be nice if we could have a "current status of unstable" web page somewhere, but the mind boggles as to how much work it would be to maintain it ... > BTW, are you the glibc maintainer? Not even close. :) The nearest I get is being the libdb1-compat maintainer, and that was just because it didn't look like anyone else was interested. Oh yeah ... by all accounts don't upgrade unstable just today, the fileutils -> coreutils renaming has been a bit shaky. That should be fine by tomorrow. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
