Today's the last day of the string freeze, leaving this left in the timeline for release:
23 april upload translated udebs to archive
23 april write release announcement
24 april last possible changes to udebs on initrds
25 april initrd builds
26 april initrd builds continue (slow autobuilders)
27 april cd building, testing
28 april release beta 4
I'm trying to track status of various architectures at the top of TODO,
here is what I have so far.
- s390: FTBFS, still no success installing
- hppa: Hangs at discrete points during install, different on
different machines, needs to be investigated (bdale).
- arm: ?
- mips: reported ok
- mipsel: looks good
- powerpc: need list of working subarches (oldworld?)
- ia64: There is a devpts/sysvinit/glibc file conflict of some
sort that breaks debootstrap. Need a bug #. (Might be
related to #230857)
- alpha: still SCSI cd problems?
- m68k: need list of working subarches
- sparc: need successful install reports from cdrom, both subarches
- i386: Broken discover in testing makes installed system
problimatic. Needs new discover stuff propigated in.
Please let me know of any other issues or corrections. At the moment
s390 is looking unlikely to be part of this release, while hppa should
be, and arm and mipsel are certian.
The most worrying things at the moment are the discover problem, and
the file conflict; if testing is not in a releasable state, we can't
release d-i.
We need to begin doing final testing now, to make sure all arches are
working with no regressions. We also need to do better testing of full
CD images this time around, not just netinst CDs.
A draft release announcement is now in subversion.
