Which builds are you looking at? The images at http://gluck.debian.org/cdimage/testing/sid_d-i/netinst/alpha/ are built daily at should be quite usable. (The ones not in the sid directory are built daily but are NOT usable, because there's a nice catch-22 with "only packages for beta2 will be pushed into testing", "only architectures that have good install reports can be considered for beta status", and "ISOs built from sarge are unusable because they only include udebs from testing". ;) I assume that if we get enough good install reports (in the requisite time period) for the sid images, we can get alpha bumped into testing and begin testing the daily sarge images for beta2 candidacy. Or if we miss deadline foo, we shrug and make sure we're ready for beta3, which looks like an easy target to hit. :) Cheers, -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
