• Upcoming d-i release vs. hard freeze

    From Cyril Brulebois@21:1/5 to All on Mon May 12 20:00:01 2025
    Hi,

    I won't quote my last mail about temporary freezes for udeb-producing
    packages in full, it's available here:
    https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2024/12/msg00001.html

    Instead I'll focus on that part near the end:

    Looking at the previous release cycles, such freezes usually last
    for a few days only, from a given debian-installer upload until
    installation images have been built successfully, and haven't found
    to be crippled with obvious bugs.

    For various reasons, I'll be trying to get D-I Trixie RC 1 out this
    week, and I might freeze udeb-producing packages right away, or in the
    very next few hours/days.

    I do realize it might make some maintainers nervous as the next few days
    are the last ones before the hard freeze (scheduled 2025-05-15), and I
    do apologize for creating this awkward situation.

    That being said, the release team has agreed (should it be needed) to
    have at least one britney run between my unfreezing udeb-producing
    packages, and implementing the hard freeze.

    Be assured I'll do my best to keep the “udeb freeze” to a minimum.

    Thanks for your understanding and your patience.


    Cheers,
