Re: Preparation for d-i beta 1
Cyril Brulebois k...@debian.org (25/06/2012): - 1st d-i upload less than 12 hours from now. - udeb freeze. Done. - 2nd upload when the kernel is ready, hopefully some time next week. I have to review a few packages we might want to get into testing soon, that should happen during this weekend. As for the kernel, linux can't migrate on its own, packages would become uninstallable. linux-latest is needed but is missing its s390 build (hence the poke on IRC and the extra Cc now). I've checked with force/force-hint that there shouldn't be any other issues once linux-latest is a candidate. Once the kernel is in testing and other udebs unblocked, there should be a new debian-installer upload early next week, which might become beta1.

Thanks for your feedback. Here's my current plan: - build/upload debian-installer after tonight's britney and following dinstall runs. - ask the release team to freeze all udeb-producing packages, so that we can retain control over what goes in from this point on. - check for failures on the buildds, fix them. - wait for the kernel to be ready/to migrate to testing. - upload a new debian-installer pulling that kernel's udebs. - coordinate with debian-cd for images. - call for tests. - do some steps again if there are big failures. - release beta 1 otherwise. We still need to arrange something about the release announce. Any takers? TL;DR: - 1st d-i upload less than 12 hours from now. - udeb freeze. - 2nd upload when the kernel is ready, hopefully some time next week. Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
