Preparation of Debian GNU/Linux 4.0r1 =====================================
An up-to-date version is at <http://release.debian.org/stable/4.0/4.0r1/>. We are preparing the next revision of the current stable Debian distribution (sarge) and will frequently send reports so people can actually comment on it and intervene whenever this is required. If you disagree with one bit or another, please reply to this mail and explain why these things should be handled differently. The overall plan is to release a new update of the stable Debian distribution roughly two months after the last update or after the initial release, whichever is suitable. An ftpmaster still has to give the final approval for each package since ftpmasters are responsible for the archive. However, we are trying to make their work as easy as possible in hope to get the next revision out properly and without any hassle. The regulations for updates to the stable Debian release are quite conservative. The requirements for packages to get updated in stable are: 1. The package fixes a security problem. An advisory by our own Security Team is required. Updates need to be approved by the Security Team. 2. The package fixes a critical bug which can lead to data loss, data corruption, or an overly broken system, or the package is broken or not usable (anymore). 3. The stable version of the package is not installable at all due to broken or unmet dependencies or broken installation scripts. 4. All released architectures have to be in sync. 5. The package gets all released architectures back in sync. It is (or (and (or 1 2 3) 4) 5) Regular bugs and upgrade problems don't get fixed in new revisions for the stable distribution. Packages which will most probably be rejected: . Packages that fix non-critical bugs. . Packages for which its binary packages are out of sync with regard to all supported architectures in the stable distribution. . Binary packages for which the source got lost somehow. . Packages that fix an unusable minor part of a package. If you would like to get a package updated in the stable release, you are advised to talk to the stable release managers first (see <http://www.debian.org/intro/organization>). Accepted Packages ----------------- These packages will be installed into the stable Debian distribution and will be part of the next revision. aircrack-ng stable 1:0.6.2-7 alpha amd64 arm hppa i386 ia64 mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc source aircrack-ng updates 1:0.6.2-7etch1 alpha amd64 arm hppa i386 ia64 mips mipsel powerpc s390 sparc source aircrack stable 1:0.6.2-7 all aircrack updates 1:0.6.2-7etch1 all DSA 1280 aircrack-ng -

One reason the package is listed here could be that I'm not yet convinced this package should go into stable, but don't want to reject it entirely at the moment.
