 I think we should get updated packages into the archive and on CDs.

I'm going to build and upload 2.6.32-38 with just that fix reverted,
unless anyone objects.

We have a lenny security update about ready to release (just waiting
on a couple builds). I've merged those changes into the lenny branch and
I can upload an o-p-u build tomorrow (which I'll do, barring any
objection). This should allow for a d-i upload before the weekend. I
don't think a d-i upload is strictly necessary - we haven't added any
hardware support since the last point release - but it is probably
a good idea given the large number of changes since the last update.

 For Squeeze it would be cool to have the kernel in for testing end of
 next week (16/17th).  The d-i upload should be there the middle of week
 39, October 1st at the latest.
 
 base-files can be uploaded now, as it will be held in NEW until closing
 time anyway.

I also intend to upload an updated firmware-nonfree package (version
0.28+squeeze1):

  * Add VIA VT6656 firmware for use with vt6656 driver

In Linux 2.6.32 this driver had embedded firmware; we removed that and
did not build the driver.  In linux-2.6 version 2.6.32-31 (point release
6.0.1) we updated the driver to support external firmware and started
building it.

  * Add Realtek RTL8105E-1 and RTL8168E-1/2/3 firmware for use with r8169

Some of the new chips supported by the updated r8169 driver in linux-2.6
version 2.6.32-36 should have these firmware patches.

Upcoming Point Releases

Hi,

we finally got target dates for the next point releases of both Lenny
and Squeeze.  Lenny should get 5.0.9 on October 1st; Squeeze will follow
on October 8th with 6.0.3.

NEW for Lenny will be closed on the weekend of September 24th; NEW for
Squeeze on the weekend of October 1st.

The upload of debian-installer for Lenny should happen on the closing
weekend at the latest; the middle of week 38 would be appreciated, so
that we have everything together on the 24th.

For Squeeze it would be cool to have the kernel in for testing end of
next week (16/17th).  The d-i upload should be there the middle of week
39, October 1st at the latest.

base-files can be uploaded now, as it will be held in NEW until closing
