Hello world, Things still remaining before we can move onto the next phase of the freeze:
* All the bugs listed below need to be fixed
* Any of alpha, mips, mipsel, s390, sh or hurd-i386
that want to release need to upload a current version of
boot-floppies (3.0.8 at the time of writing), and post an
installation report to the debian-testing@lists.debian.org list.
The deadlines from the last mail were August 4th, which was last
week.
Since the last status update, we've got hppa and ia64 partially
integrated into woody, and we've got legal advice about the crypto in main
issue. Both these need a little more work before they're complete though.
There hasn't been much progress on the RC base bugs though.
Currently open RC bugs against base packages are: (by source package)
APT Development Team <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
apt 97364 open grave
apt-cdrom needs support for woody CD's. Can be fixed by
making apt-cdrom complain less, or worked removing the
woody-secured tree from woody CD'db2 106082 open grave
--> woody CD's will generate their own Packages/Release files
apt 107362 open serious
apt 107395 open grave sid
apt frequently doesn't work at all
--> rumoured to be fixed in apt cvs
Yann Dirson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
console-common 107700 open grave
some sort of upgrading bug; maintainer can't reproduce
--> Needs to be investigated and/or downgraded
Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
db2 106082 open grave
db2 106663 open grave
db2 not backwards compatible, breaks potato packages on
partial upgrades
--> ?
Mark Baker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
exim 106659 open serious
exim needs to mkdir /etc/exim in preinst on upgrades
--> simple fix, NMU?
Ben Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
glibc 100336 forwarded serious
Signal handling breaks zsh on hppa. Needs to be fixed by
hppa people; zsh will be removed from hppa if unfixed; will
not delay freeze.
--> Freeze unaffected
glibc 107062 open serious sid
Ben and Branden having a flamewar. Freeze doesn't seem to be
affected.
--> Freeze unaffected
Colin Watson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
groff 107788 open serious
HTML driver broken
--> Version in testing is okay, freeze unaffected
Wichert Akkerman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
modutils 106933 open critical
modutils broken on ppc
--> patch in bugreport, NMU?
Randolph Chung <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
tasksel 103773 open grave
tasksel tasks include some task- packages. Can be fixed after
base freeze.
--> Freeze unaffected for the moment
modutils and exim probably should be NMUed by QA, apt appears to just
need a maintainer upload, db2 needs some investigation and a fix to be
worked out (urgently), and console-common could use some investigation.
Cheers,
aj
