Hi,

A finally-final point release is required for bullseye, and we're a bit constrained on dates. The security team (CC) wish to cease security support from Wednesday 14th August and hand over to LTS as soon as a wash-up release can be organised.

The weekend of 24th August is unworkable. That leaves two options:

- Saturday 17th August: this would mean freezing on the 10th, before
security support ends, so the security team's cooperation in keeping
non-critical DSAs off the table during the freeze period would be
required

- Saturday 31st August: it's later than ideal, leaving a gap before LTS
starts work, but that may be unavoidable.

Most likely this will need to be a double release again to avoid version
and cadence skew for bookworm.

Please could you indicate your availability for these dates as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Both should work.

Should be able to do either of these.

Good for consistency - boo for double amounts of work :(

Please could you indicate your availability for these dates as soon as possible.

Thanks,

All best, as ever,

Sure, you will have our full cooperation; this will be fine from our
side and keeping non-critical DSAs off the table as needed.

Either of these should work for me.

Apologies, I'm away that weekend.

That works for me, so far.

Thanks. Although there's no indication from press yet I think we'd better
go for that as there isn't any good other option.

Press - can you please confirm availability for 31st August ASAP?

Thanks,
