-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi all,
I am pleased to announce the unofficial Debian monthly testing snapshot release for October 2011 (version 2011.10). This release is currently available for i386 and amd64 as iso images downloadable from: http://alioth.debian.org/~gilbert-guest/snapshots/2011.10/debian-testing-snapshot-2011.10-i386-mini.iso sha512sum: 01ff749fd76c84b2b60733b934d13597b85d26c80a01fec8486b56fa2d6be460378309ab8134b2ef8ea7b8eafa0f4fcfc57cb2c8997a161643ad2b350efad1a6 http://alioth.debian.org/~gilbert-guest/snapshots/2011.10/debian-testing-snapshot-2011.10-amd64-mini.iso sha512sum: a118e5bceeb457f536b9232b769f07fc86c421264c7c12b14d1c99696657c5f441fec291e4926e8a219a37bb769f1f22330856c5ce8b95aa43defb15f637260a These files can be written to CD or DVD media or directly to a USB stick. Instructions for USB installation can be found here: http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/i386/ch04s03.html.en IMPORTANT: There will be no inherent security support for these snapshot releases. The images do automatically set up testing-security as an apt source during installation, so any DTSA's (Debian Testing Security Advisories) will be automatically applied to snapshot installations. However, the security team does not issue many updates this way anymore (optioning instead to primarily use unstable uploads as a means to fix testing). This is an area that could potentially be improved if there are volunteers interested in this problem. For more information on current testing security processes, see: http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/secure-testing/doc/narrative_introduction Ideally for those wishing to have a mostly security supported system, the snapshot media will simply be a reliable stepping stone for installation followed by an upgrade to testing proper, which does receive quasi-official support from the security team (i.e. uploads to unstable that transition to testing). To upgrade from a previous snapshot, change your existing snapshot entries in /etc/apt/sources.list to: deb http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20110930T160956Z testing main deb-src http://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20110930T160956Z testing main Note that upgradability of individual packages isn't necessarily guaranteed. Note that this is an unofficial project since it does not come with the backing or support from Debian as a team, but hopefully that will change in the future as the concept is proven out. Anyway, enjoy! Best wishes, Mike Gilbert -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQQcBAEBCAAGBQJOj1+2AAoJELjWss0C1vRzjokgAJdR1nWGde/EyQA83Y8ZLbCL A+lt3T8NCjTiMf3N0zR35guGrzPDo23IbIUAz8lyRhmE2zDHkOeHSsf6r7p1mcJ8 s9IPncBd6ekgM7GYk1tTfHAjoobbkFEkBkNCYbM1UYvfQ1QHWl0lA159jnSj+Em1 HOvPDgN6i0IuRyvmzeDdSjBPhqM24zfp6CiVsNqyAMR24jQil3CV7FKlID0IM8Wf uQzVcMVSqlda1Yq4ESlw+s/USo41z9M2+MPEwtFyPMmpgNb6Rt7JQSAFRKS3jvTG 7XCx8Nvxvw6n0ImnSG58Hj1032F3CfufgRZXOjIzJgBmgfLUxn31FfmwQd+iaPRw nVjLoq/p9FqO5TNG16yMaf16nEPK/WbsG6DZEuTcrkr/l9J9eOCKQpVfnALVEOsG DagcjnrgIdCkDWI7a1ld9kbny1Fseov12ZHArnl3QutFIMi6vA9iNl3FA6aD39je n3av0hjDAdwqG0Jp1rfX5GioplogFs4PDTkWs8V7qgoDaKQvol84lmTBl48zCndv TWeMkbfWx/AyGRrXf2bJovNuGnG6lW9Y4FND+u6LrZ5TbYRnNvcWWtqLfgkRodDG 1gh+UZLL2iRkELapJ9307O/qSOq9ZSRbYdyi1qcS9pPbdIVPSvU3Reh3ZqKY0+Xj 4iNbTlVmx6S8bWUV48JSLGJHDInlPHtAe0WqXP7GNXS0oZas/NBGrYce/Rbw9ebg Nw61T///RN2tkb9OVRrT79q5JL6jPbY9XNCfobNJihw9f4VswtzpR99uuCT8YWC2 QQtlw7cw+Kkz13SgB5qRTfgan5FmDQk3yT1k8UIIF2xptqRUXfFB7ICzpPR3TZVX 3KIlCd33XJytNbHPm8APk38O93+qQDQlitcwRBXEDQW9NXUNOkcBsVTVpMmsZz2V 9qoj0kDDXzUuZSO9yxBhljyjBMr7sK1HftJNe+HAczk5l4DZ80pNf/vV94B82pzS aIDC0AR8C+XJzlO3DMdO5+Ts166z0JsAWYY6DgiYCs0EIpCz7vs9+V87qVlqcxKy C8oVdKKlvXmgEKwav+JQS2QFLYi3nDEa1upjlEahB9dOQNtNg4Stnczad+vkb1HN tdNJzjMg0feipGwTzFLD8rQ95ytAzEmn44i69jLo/8HkOhSYKXi+aeAeIxsZ1c4E aBt1ZuX/3iBgx9MqP4DEoMhX2Wl7qYjJGP4DY1qr+j/mvr1kCST/CKJ9kKXtJrDL Z8kXDvmrE5GWAQzV9JEJeeuIVrAufJtwGITE+IJDmZNmoxMl/aEcnq4viCT4TrBC myuggdqnWcvlV6efDxveJJ0Ie16/qbUC7vHtL7im1Oc8RAoEeJIFSkE9tBI/djc= =MftZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
