(Almost) Time for Jessie Beta 2?
Hi people, as you might have seen, a number of uploads happened lately and the d-i BoF notes from DebConf kindly provided by Steve (thanks!) reminded me about uploading d-i more often. So I think I'll try and achieve that as soon as linux 3.16 reaches testing (it was just uploaded to unstable, and FTBFSes on several architectures, so not this week ;)). Some things got set into motion, like syslinux menu overhaul (mainly discussion around the switch to graphical by default, didn't see any patch yet) or tasksel changes (alternative desktops, blends support). I'm unsure they're going to be ready at that point, so I guess it would make sense not to wait for them and publish another release in the meanwhile. I'll probably gather opinions when linux is ready, this mail is mainly meant to be a heads-up. → I'd like to know whether some bugs need special attention/fixes (besides what's in unstable already). I haven't looked at recent bugs lately but I think we might be missing at least a ttf-cjk-compact-udeb upload (which might explain some issues reported against debian-edu IIRC), and I failed to upload choose-mirror for the past release (Aurelien uploaded it 10 days ago though, to get updated arch lists). If you have possibly disruptive patches/updates pending, it would be nice to either communicate on the topic, or delay these until after the release. (Of course, if you're able to introduce them, and fix any issues before linux is ready, I'm fine with it.) [ I'm adding -bsd@ to the loop explicitly since there was quite some work lately (thanks to Steven who stepped up and quickly sent a fair number of patches), and I'd rather avoid forgetting/not knowing about some extra patches. ] [ And -cd@ so that the team knows a release is planned “soon”, in case some patches are in the works. ] Mraw, KiBi. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Sounds good; it feels like a good time for a new release. (Perhaps biased; I'm keen for the kfreebsd d-i Beta 1 images to go away so that people are only testing new ones. that work.) So I think I'll try and achieve that as soon as linux 3.16 reaches testing (it was just uploaded to unstable, and FTBFSes on several architectures, so not this week ;)). We'd be ready for kfreebsd 10.1 to go into unstable, but won't do this unless there's an ACK/NAK from release team in #760114, and also working around the schedule of any upcoming d-i release. If this did go ahead, only the version and ABI number need updating in debian-installer; I've been doing all of my d-i testing with kfreebsd 10.1 udebs and I think it is absolutely ready. (Preferred, in fact, because it fixes known issues like #755739). If you have possibly disruptive patches/updates pending, it would be nice to either communicate on the topic, or delay these until after the release. (Of course, if you're able to introduce them, and fix any issues before linux is ready, I'm fine with it.) I'd like to revert some of the problematic ZFS-on-Linux changes from partman-zfs (a kfreebsd-specific udeb), to restore the original behaviour we had in wheezy. I'll try to get this done in plenty of time for Beta 2. [ I'm adding -bsd@ to the loop explicitly since there was quite some work lately (thanks to Steven who stepped up and quickly sent a fair number of patches), and I'd rather avoid forgetting/not knowing about some extra patches. ] Thanks :) All patches for the kfreebsd d-i Beta 2 errata got uploaded. There is only the #757986 inappropriate ioctl for device prompt, that we could try to fix before Beta 2 *if* there is time after the above.

Quoting Cyril Brulebois (k...@debian.org): Hi people, as you might have seen, a number of uploads happened lately and the d-i BoF notes from DebConf kindly provided by Steve (thanks!) reminded me about uploading d-i more often. So I think I'll try and achieve that as soon as linux 3.16 reaches testing (it was just uploaded to unstable, and FTBFSes on several architectures, so not this week ;)). I'm still in the upload fast, upload often mood. We nearly have no pending changes in git (I still need to see today's check, though). There are many pending l10n-only uploads to do, mostly because Joe Hansen did a lot of QA on the Danish translation, which triggered changes to many packages (and also because the chek I'm using was broken since late July and fixed only recently. They are low priority, though, and should not delay a release. I just want to mention them so that you're not surprised by many uploads happening. signature.asc Description: Digital signature
