Next release of Debian - when?

1997-12-16 Thread Mark Phillips

When is Debian 1.4 coming out officially?  I thought Debian was now
working on roughly a three month cycle time for new releases - are we
giving up on this strategy?

Cheers,

Mark.

Hamm (Debian 2.0) will be released when we're finished with it.  It
doesn't look like we'll be able to do a release before late January,
possibly later.  There are several reasons for the lag in development,
primarily the fact that all our packages are being converted to use the
new libc6 (glibc2) library instead of the old libc5.  While it may appear
like RedHat is moving faster, we actually have more than twice the number
of packages they do.  In addition, we're an entirely volunteer force, so
we can't muster quite the speed as someone who is being paid to work on
their upgrade full-time.  You can see our work so far (which is reasonably
stable) by checking out the unstable tree on our archives.  Please read
the howto available at http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/ before attempting
to install packages from unstable however.

Deity is the code-name of the improved package interface.
