Thank you, and others who have offered to help as they can; but I'm sad we're having to do this instead of being part of the official release, and thus duplicate a lot of process/infrastructure that was already in place since wheezy. > I don't know how the others feel about, when should kbsd be removed > from testing?

I think removing it anytime in the next 1-3 months would be okay from our point of view. Would you normally delete the packages outright, or archive them off in any place similar to archive.d.o? I guess snapshots.d.o would still have copies of the last packages that were _in_ testing? But won't have the indices _for_ testing. > > But certainly for unofficial releases, a supplemental repository would > > be great for us.

I don't think it's limited to that; in making an unofficial release, we become our own release managers, and can try to apply our own... personal taste here. I'll discuss that on -bsd@ rather than here. Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
