It reached testing in the meanwhile. and the CJK issue (#762057) I've managed to fix the obvious regression I spotted while updating the ttf-cjk-compact package (#763576), and testing full installation in C/J was OK, K looked good. unblock-udeb/urgent in place.

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
