>From lurking on irc on #debian-cd lately around the time of release and on various lists at the moment : The daily/weekly builds are disabled at the moment to allow time for the mirrors to catch up - and for Steve to catch his breath after generating 502 images :) The cron jobs that run them also produce verbose error messages when they don't run - so they've been turned off for the moment. We know that a release 1 of Lenny is planned for the end of March timeframe - which will allow us all to patch any problems, fix odd bugs that crept in and so on. [Nasty one on certain older Sparc machines, for example]. It's possible that Steve will then turn the weeklies back on after that. In the meantime, testing is about to get a hammering as all the changes that have been held back prior to release of Lenny will hit at once unless a lot of work is done to stage these transitions. That task, in itself, is almost equivalent to a mini release. Allow dato and other folk some slack as they arrange this. Today, and potentially for the next couple of months if you want to build a new system on Squeeze: Build a minimalist system to start with. Grab a Lenny netinst, install the base system only, change your /etc/apt/sources.list to read squeeze instead of lenny, aptitude update ; aptitude full-upgrade and go on from there. That will keep you up to date with the state of testing as it evolves. If you've already got a Lenny box up and running, just change /etc/apt/sources.list. Today, the divergence between Lenny / Squeeze is relatively small but differences are growing daily.
