Hiya!

Not wanting to pester *too* much, but where are we up to?


Right now I can still have 27th April on the cards but we're missing FTP and
press. It's next week, we'd have to know this weekend and get frozen.
Mark indicated "maybe" and no answer from press.

If that date works please reply urgently otherwise we're looking into May
and possibly just skipping to line up with the final bullseye anyway.

It works for me, I guess. Dunno about other folks.



I can still do 27th but as I have already stated Isy is now unavailable 
until July due to exams.


Please can we make a decision by Tuesday otherwise I'll end up doing 
something else

Hi,

As we had to postpone 12.6, let's look at alternative dates.

April 13th
- Not great for me for personal reasons, mhy previously said no. I
could probably do if need be

April 20th
- Doesn't work for me; I'm away from the Tuesday before until late on
the Friday

April 27th
- Doesn't work for me; I have a pre-existing appointment which means
I'll be AFK much of the day

May 4th
- Apparently doesn't work for me; long weekend in the UK

May 11th
- Should work for me

Regards,

Adam



Hi all,

May the 11th is fine for me.  Sorry we will not get an Isy as she will 
be deep into her exams by then. But we'll be ok, given this is just 12.6 
(and not a double release)

Hi,

As you may have noticed, we're a bit overdue now for both 11.3 and the
penultimate buster point release, 10.12.

Some potential dates:

- March 19th (means freezing next weekend, so not ideal)
- March 26th
- April 2nd
- April 9th


The 19th is awkward for me (and Andy S!) - prior commitments. The
others look OK for me.



Hi Everyone,

I can do the 26th March or the 9th of April.
Sorry the 2nd April is not available for me either

It's (a little past) time that we organised the next point release. As

Any of the first three weekends of December would work for me, although
the 4th is my least preferred as it means freezing over the coming
weekend and I'm not sure if I'll have time to do a fair job of dealing
with things before that.

tl;dr, suggested dates:

December 4th [least preferable for me]
December 11th
December 18th


4th December is a no-go for me, but the 11th and 18th look OK.



Likewise 11th & 18th December are good for us (can't do 4th either)

Hi Adam,

Adam D. Barratt  (2021-09-06):

We've ended up being late with planning 10.11 due to the timing of the
bullseye release, and also need to look at getting 11.1 sorted.

Traditionally, we've combined stable and oldstable point releases (at
2- and 4-month cadences) while both are supported. That would still be
my preference, but I understand that not everyone on the Images side
is so keen on the idea. Open questions in addition to dates are
therefore whether we should do 10.11 and 11.1 on the same day and, if
not, how close together they should be.

A few suggested dates to get things going:

September 18th - not great; means freezing this coming weekend
September 25th - not great; I'm away during most of the week
beforehand, so will be unlikely to be able to deal with any issues,
make sure everything's ready, etc.
October 2nd - OK for me
October 9th - OK for me
October 16th - OK for me


Regarding d-i preps, I should be able to accomodate anything that gets
picked up.


Cheers,




I can do all of the above dates except the 2nd October (wedding anniversary)

Whilst it is normal to run a point release on old stable at the same 
time as stable it does mean that we don't give the images in the old 
stable point release as much testing as perhaps they should because we 
are all 'too tired' by the time that we get round to them.  that said 
that is what the Sunday is for...

With less than three weeks to go until the tentative release date, I
would love to confirm the date by now, but there is a serious issue with
crucial infrastructure (cdbuilder.d.o). Apart from this issue (and what
it means for solving the debian-installer blocking issues in time), I'm
not aware of other blocking issues, so let's hope the teams involved can
recover in time.

Albeit there is some progress, we think it better for the people
involved to now say that we will *not* release on July 31.

Unfortunately, that means that we have to start looking for a new date
again. Assuming what we'll learn in the upcoming week or two is good, I
propose to already start the list below with two weeks after the
previous date. Upcoming time is around DebConf, I can imagine it could
even be an advantage, especially as that's on-line, let's see.

14 August (day before DebCamp)

Doable.

Works for me

Works for me for images team


21 August (last day of DebCamp)
RT: elbrus

Awkward - wife has plans for us that evening.

Half of the press team is available this day so it is not ideal.

Sorry - away

28 August (DebConf)
RT: elbrus

Debian UK BBQ, argh

away at ^^



4 September
RT: elbrus

Labor day weekend in the U.S. Not a good weekend.

Works fine for me

doable - Isy and I will be unavailable before 1300hrs UTC

11 September:

That's the week of my wedding anniversary, I'll be on VAC.

Happy Anniversary!

Works for me


Could we put forth September 18th? We are good for that day without any

Bug#989619: task-kde-desktop: Wrong wallpaper installed on clean installation of Bullseye (Desktop & Lock)

[Andy Simpkins]

Package: task-kde-desktop
Version: 3.67
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   Testing Weekly builds of DI ready for release  (build 2021-06-07)
   
  * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
   ineffective)?
   Clean installation into seporate VMs of all installation
media.  Only
KDE desktop is affected.  All other desktops correctly install and
select the 'Homeworld' wallpaper and lock screens.


   * What was the outcome of this action?
   KDE desktopinstallation had 'shell' as default walpaper and as
   'lockscreen'
   
  * What outcome did you expect instead?
  I expected to see 'Homeworld' as the default wallpaper and lock
screen
- it wasn't 'shell' was set as the default.
Homeworld was installed, just not as the active setting
Login screen correctly showed 'homeworld'


I beleive that this would be an embarissment if we fail to correctly
theme the default desktop on KDE by bullseye release.
Note I have also tested GNOME, XFCE, Gnome FlashBack, Cinnamon, Mate,
LXQt, LXDE all sucessfully.
