Now the schedule has been decided by D-I developers at Oldenburg.
The string freeze begins on Sept 30th and will last until Oct 6th.
Release timeline:
29 Sep last day for udeb changes for tc2
udebs propigated to testing (rc1 breaks)
30 Sep release tc2 (or give up on the idea)
string freeze begins
start building full CDs for tc2
4 Oct full CDs finish building for tc2, are released
7 Oct translation uploads
last day to upload fixes to packages on initrds
8 Oct initrd builds start for rc2
21 Oct initrd builds finish (or earlier..)
last day for uploads of any udebs or debs for rc2
22 Oct udebs propigated to testing (tc1 breaks)
full debian freeze probably starts here
final CD builds
23 Oct testing begins
- Should we freeze Debian first? YES
29 Oct web site updates
and rc2 release
Current blocking issues for tc2:
- 2.6 red screen of dread? (or errata)
- finish hppa kernel updates
- integrate pcmcia resource range patch??
(worries that this may be too hard to test well)
- powerpc floppy reorg
- localization-config (needs to get debs to testing)
And blocking issues for rc2:
- subversion holdbacks blocking translations uploads
- top of TODO
- new ones should always be added to TODO
- udebs and debs and udeb source must be synced in sarge
Questions:
- should tc2 replace udebs in sarge? images in sarge?
- what to call tc2? Some suggestions --
pre-rc2
<release date> "limited deployment"
rc1.9
