I just committed some changes to make life easier for everyone around release time. There is a new file, english/releases/info, which contains some data relating to the current release: release number, date of release and whether there is currently a frozen distro.
All the distrib/packages.wml files have been modified to use this new file. As usual when doing bulk updates, the translation version numbers were not updated. In the future we will use the generic terms for the releases (stable, unstable, frozen) instead of their nicknames when appropriate. Places that need information on the current release can grab that information from english/releases/info. If you feel something should be added to the file, ask on debian-www. For example, we may want to add tags for the nicknames for the current releases, i.e. current_stable = potato, etc. Feel free to update places on the site that should be using this file. Note that the file does not currently use slices. If you feel the current format for information in releases/info is not appropriate for your language we can easily change to using slices. -- James (Jay) Treacy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
