JoeBuck writes "Steve Langasek has announced that
Debian Sarge is now frozen. He produced a schedule
that would lead to a Debian release at the end of May,
though I would expect it to slip somewhat. I'm glad
that the long wait for a Debian release will soon be
over."

Hello world,
Anthony Towns has committed a minor change to the
britney script which
manages updates of packages to testing, and as a
result packages are no
longer being accepted into testing without
hand-approval by a member of
the release team.
Wait, that didn't come out quite right. Let's try
again.
Sarge is now frozen! Wheeeeeee!!!
Thanks are due to everyone who has helped get us to
this point: in
particular our ftpmasters, Anthony Towns, James Troup,
and Ryan Murray,
for their continued dedication which has made it
possible for mortals to
wrangle behemoths such as the 9,000-package sarge; our
co-wranglers, the
release assistants Andreas Barth, Frank Lichtenheld,
and Joey Hess; and
you, gentle maintainer, for your support and patience.
For those maintainers whose packages were unprepared
for a freeze at
this moment (the process has, after all, been a long
one), you still
have one last opportunity to get things into shape if
there are any
remaining important problems. Read on...
======================================================
hope the official isos are out by may end..
so lets keep it Debian gnu/linux ... all the way...
bye
