Question:
While I am in no 'official' position to request this (I'm just a random interested user), I'd really appreciate you guys including some stuff about the current release cycle, the ongoing delays in releasing Sarge, and possible ideas on how to improve the situation in future releases.
Reply:
I do mention the issue in my platform, but I have no specific recommendations to make at this time. If elected, I will work with Anthony Towns, Colin Watson, and Steve Langasek as best I can to identify the problems they perceive, and collaboratively come up with solutions.
There are several hard problems that work together to make releasing Debian difficult. Also, the rewrite of our installer technology has put a unique load on this release cycle.
It's worth reviewing Anthony's mail to debian-devel-announce in December, and Colin's last week, to get an idea of some of the challenges they've had to face. The fact that approximately 6% of our archive fails to meet bare minimum expectations leads me to believe that we may want to inaugurate a special process for orphaning such packages.
