I'd like to see a place where the status of all the various places where potential Sarge release issues are tracked. I feel that http://www.debian.org/devel/testing was missing things, and I didn't see anything else like this. Following the debian-devel convention, I created something myself.
I may not be pointing to the canonical locations. My guesses about priorities (1-3) of things to be done before Sarge is released is below with status information. I'm unsure as to where to get status information about some things in the second paragraph below (which is mainly about packages). 2 Installer TODO: http://cvs.debian.org/debian-installer/doc/TODO?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup 1 Ports(aka architectures) status: http://people.debian.org/~mckinstry/ports-status.html 2 gcc 3.2 (g++ abi change?) transition status (versions with c102 suffix): http://people.debian.org/~rmurray/c++transition.html 2 Release Critical Bugs status: http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/ 1 Problems in testing: http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/testing_probs.html 2 IPV6 status & status guesses: http://debdev.fabbione.net/cgi-bin/getstats 2 Debian Description Translation Project (DDTP) status: http://ddtp.debian.org/stats/ 3 Status of aptitude categories (Replaces "tags" or keywords ideas, I'd rather have trove descriptions): http://debian.vitavonni.de/packagebrowser/ 3 Menu system update(s)? http://phys251.phy.olemiss.edu/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/ or http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/menu/draft/menu-spec/menu-spec.html (as suggested in http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200304/msg00800.html ) 3 fhs status: http://qa.debian.org/fhs.html 3 AMD x86-64 port? Several threads have been on debian-devel about this. 3 Linux Kernel 2.6?!? http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200304/msg00964.html I think that it may be unreasonable to wait for this. There were some potential Debian Installer (d-i) issues listed in the same thread. 2 Ooo (OpenOffice.org 1.0.3?)? Very desirable but held back by transitions. More info at least on the debian ooo mailing list, is there a status site? 2 Perl transition (5.6-5.8)? The debian-perl list might have an up to date status, is there a status site? 2 KDE (3.1?)? Is there a status site? 2 Postgresql (bugs?, devel site(S)?)? 2 Python transition? It looks to be near completion judging from the responses to http://lists.debian.org/debian-python/2003/debian-python-200304/msg00010.html 2 libpng transition? debian-devel has some discussion about this archived for Jan and Jul 2002. http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2002/debian-devel-200207/msg01106.html is quite interesting. 2 ocaml status? http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200304/msg00986.html and bug 187155. 3 gzip rsync patch (patch will be removed or fixed for alphas): http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=gzip 3 QT transition (Qt2->Qt3)? Mentioned in thread http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200303/msg00217.html 3 MySQL 4 (coming or just uploaded to unstable?)? 3 Gnome: http://people.debian.org/~walters/gnome2.html 3 Java (some packages were in contrib/non-free because they wouldn't work with free Java implementations. There was some talk about a potential Java transition but from what to what?)? 3 guile 1.4 -> 1.6 transition? http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200302/msg00255.html 3 XFree86 status (I suspect sarge'll have 4.2.1, not 4.3.0): http://people.debian.org/~branden/xsf/xsf.html Some other notes: Boot-floppies status (very likely *has to* be replaced with the debian-installer): http://people.debian.org/~dwhedon/ Testing information: http://www.debian.org/devel/testing Update excuses: http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_excuses.html.gz Update output: http://ftp-master.debian.org/testing/update_output.txt QA information (links to info on RC bugs and alike): http://qa.debian.org A Woody+1 (aka sarge) release goal wishlist: http://people.debian.org/~erich/woody+1/ Discussion about Woody+1 (goals) at: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2002/debian-devel-200205/msg02497.html Older (hamm, slink) release goals: http://people.debian.org/~joey/goals/ Info about release(d) revisions of Stable: http://people.debian.org/~joey/stable.html Website translation status: http://www.debian.org/devel/website/stats/ Debian keys trust metrics: http://people.debian.org/~weasel/weboftrust/ (It'd be nice to see a higher trust metric.)
