Hi, Could you please add some background information to < http://wiki.debian.org/ReleaseGoals > ?
In my case, I am not sure if that wiki page is to make a wish or wishes that have already been agreed and granted. Some of you might know that there is an on-going effort to port Debian to ARM hard float land (namely 'armhf'). I would like to make a wish and make it a release goal, or at least have it considered. > Release Goals > ------------- > As a first step towards establishing release goals for wheezy, we will > be reviewing each of the goals which we had for squeeze [RDO:SGoals] to > see which have been achieved and which may no longer be relevant for > other reasons. > > If you are listed as the proponent for a goal in the above list, please > feel free to provide a status update on progress towards completing it > and whether you believe it is relevant for the wheezy cycle. You can > also e-mail us to propose a new goal, including a description of the > goal and an indication of how progress on the issues may be tracked > (e.g. a pointer to a set of appropriate user-tagged bugs). DESCRIPTION Port Debian to ARM hard float userland. < http://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatPort > PROGRESS If the ReleaseGoals wiki page is for such purpose, I'll proceed on next days to file all required documentation. In any other case, we already have a way of tracking progress via: < http://wiki.debian.org/ArmHardFloatTodo > < http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=debian-...@lists.debian.org&tag=armhf > > In some cases in previous cycles release goals have become "orphaned", > for instance as a result of the original proponent either being > unavailable to work on them or losing interest. To try and avoid such > issues occurring for wheezy, we are considering requesting that each > goal have a nominated "shepherd" (or shepherds) who will monitor > progress towards the goal and provide regular status updates on that > progress (even if it's "same as last time"). Shepherds: * Konstantinos Margaritis < mar...@debian.org > * Héctor Orón < zu...@debian.org > > We're also after new goals! I know that expressions of interest in > multiarch and tdebs have already been indicated, but if you have > something you would want to see happen for Wheezy, please let us know. I think I have, if I am missing something, please let me know. As a side note, FTP masters have agreed to bootstrap armhf in the archive. < http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=615513 > > Sprint > ------ > We feel it would be useful for the Release Team as a whole to get > together to think about what the plans are for the next release. As > such, we're planning a sprint to meet in person. Details will follow > once diaries have been able to be synchronised! It would be nice if you could consider our proposal too. > 0-day NMU policy > ---------------- > For some time now, we have had a perpetual 0-day NMU policy, and some > discussion [LDO:0day] was had a while ago. We feel that this has worked > well for the past five years, and so will be submitting a bug against > dev-ref to make this official. > > For avoidance of doubt, this means that RC bugs that are older than one > week that haven't had maintainer activity on it for a week can be > uploaded to DELAYED/0-day. This means that patches must still make their > way to the BTS, and the usual workflow must still follow. If armhf port is considered a release goal, the policy above probably applies. > [DDA:Done] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2011/02/msg00003.html > [RDO:SGoals] http://release.debian.org/squeeze/goals.txt > [LDO:0day] http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2006/07/msg00231.html Kind regards, -- Héctor Orón -.. . -... .. .- -. -.. . ...- . .-.. --- .--. . .-.
