A minimum is two months for this -- if we start now to work on this. > * glibc 2.1 source compatibility > A larger task is to ensure that all packages still compile on a glibc > 2.1 development system.

I think we have more then 100 release-critical bugs, not all such bugs are marked as critical. I've put my autobuilder logfiles (for bad packages) on http://master.debian.org/~koptein -- please have a look at it. This are not all glibc-2.1, linux or dpkg bugs, but mainly. > Timescale: > The freeze is at least one month away, and possibly a lot more than > that.

Correct. > Potato Architectures: > As far as I know it will be the same set as in slink, i.e. i386, m68k, > sparc, and alpha.

Other topics: language support for boot-floppies (and then also cd-images) and dpkg & dselect (and newer apt-get versions). mozilla should work for potato Thnx, Hartmut
