Etch stable - when?
Does anybody here know something more new than the informations from the debian site? July 24th, 2006 The Debian project confirms December 2006 as the date for the next release of its distribution which will be named Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 alias 'etch'. This will be the first official release to include the AMD64 architecture. The distribution will be released synchronously for 11 architectures in total. It's Januar 2007 now...

I'm not sure anyone can give you an answer although you'll no doubt get some opinion from those better informed than I. Etch is now frozen and consequently will be released once all the release critical bugs are fixed. FWIW I installed a server with etch (i386) yesterday and so far seems pretty rock solid; as long as the machine isn't exposed to the internet and your machine isn't mission critical, you may want to upgrade sooner. In Debian speak 'it'll be released when it's ready' :) Regards Clive -- www.clivemenzies.co.uk ... ...strategies for business -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

I usually keep track of debian-devel-announce mailing list for this kind of things. Subscription/unsubscription info for debian-devel-announce mailing list can be found at http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/ I believe Etch will be released when the developers think it is stable enough and when the R-C bug count drops down close to 0. According to http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/ there are currently 109 RC bugs concerning the next release. If you want Etch to be released faster, please consider squashing some RC bugs... raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- Click to compare save $100's on life insurance, free quote http://tags.bluebottle.com/fc/CAaCMPJkoHloVzOp65bpEotEHurqYvNc/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Also, the mentioned date of December was not a statement from anyone in Debian, December was a point in the release timeline where folks would re-evaluate what was left to do for the release.
