Great! I'll try and shape things up until the end of this week. I'll
reinstate a block for all udebs after tonight's britney run, and I'll
be running some more checks before a possible upload in a few days.

The highlighted part above was meant to be an ACK for the change, but I
agree I should have made that more explicit. To recap quickly: my main
objection last time was the lack of prior notice (visible to outside the
huge yet limited DC'15 crowd); now that it's been announced on lists and
discussed a bit, and that the feedback loop has been quiet for a while,
I'm fine with moving things ahead (even if I suspect we might hear some
more about users once the change has actually happened ;)).

I've already checked with Steve that the plan looks like this:
 - getting netinst on i386/amd64 would still install Gnome;
 - but CD#1 would be specifically marked as CD1-xfce in some manner
   (through the filename), and would default to Xfce instead.

Possibly, yes.

Correct. This week's weekly looked like that already.

Works for me...

OK. I would like to disable the CD set builds properly again - I'm
just about to commit that change again now. OK? After the DC15
discussion and follow-up on the list I think I'll leave *one* CD1
option around, XFCE.

How does that sound?

Towards D-I Stretch Alpha 4

[Cyril Brulebois]

Hi,

I've just pushed a patch in D-I bumping the linux kernel ABI for the
latest linux migration to testing, and therefore pondering when to
schedule a release. I'm thinking somewhen before the end of October
would be nice, if feasible on the debian-cd side.

I don't think I've seen many changes lately, except for those planned
on the CD side (thanks for the detailed announce!), so I'm currently
not anticipating bad surprises (but I'm probably lacking imagination
or wisdom).

(Letting debian-release@ know about the possible upcoming udeb block;
even if that would likely be after the October 17th/18th weekend.)

Mraw,
KiBi.
