Hi Holger, Again, thanks for driving a number of discussions and changes over the last few months, esp. on the partitioning side.
I would like to check with you whether some big changes are pending, or whether things are settling down. It looks like the latter at the moment but maybe I've missed some big things going on. If we're entering a quieter period (after the 64-bit time_t transition, partition-related changes, what to do about armel/i386, etc.), the next question would be what the l10n side looks like. Publishing a release means computing translation stats to decide whether to issue a warning at the beginning of the installation process (basically “translation in [language] is incomplete, are you sure you want to continue?”) and I would really love to avoid having that pop up in as many languages as possible. With the let's say “technical upload” a few weeks back (to clear the path for Steve's work), we lost 42 “5 F” languages. I see[1] that we have a lot of translation work to release already, so I'll look into that next. I'm not sure whether it would make sense to issue a call for translations before everything already pending is merged, or if we should just wait for those packages to get uploaded, migrated into testing, before computing translation stats again. 1. https://d-i.debian.org/translations.txt Other topics before a release include figuring out where we're at regarding Secure Boot, libx11[2] issues (which will require at least a fix plus rebuilds). 2. https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2024/11/msg00002.html Cheers, -- Cyril Brulebois (k...@debian.org) <https://debamax.com/> D-I release manager -- Release team member -- Freelance Consultant
