Just stumbled upon this by chance when I was looking for installer
images for my new box and installed it successfully 4 hours ago. ;-)

Many thanks for the fine work

I have mistakenly provided the directly URL. Please use the website

I apologise by this mistake.

People need  to fix the machine and there're people working on

As soon as we get news ;-)

I read that as "No, no progress in 36 hours"

What I mis is:
 - If there is help needed

For your information:
sparc64 netboot image from march 9th installs fine on a Sun Ultra 10


If other tests for sparc64 are needed, just say so.


Something else:
I remember vaguely test reports for other releases,
but I didn't see them for this release.

So I wonder if I'm really helping with reporting a succesfull install...

Is there any update on this? As of now, the final images should be
available according to your plan ...

(I'm asking because the blocks for packages generate us pain elsewhere -
e.g. openssh needs to go to testing for armel, libxklavier-transition
depends on glib2.0 and pango, ...)

Currently we're trying to get final images built but the building
machine has hardware issues and it's being worked on to get it solves
as soon as possible.

I'll mail you all once it has been solved and images are available for
final tests.

I have made a few changes in the wiki:
http://wiki.debian.org/DebianInstaller/ReleaseAnnounce?action=diff&rev2=31&rev1=29

Two (IMO) important changes I've made:
- move "issues" section before "plans" section
- mention to which arches the no longer supported systems belong

Other comments:
- The addition of Amharic should be mentioned in the announcement.
- The announcement should be converted for the website (news section on
  the D-I project page) for the release itself.
- The announcement contains many subheaders and links. For the website (or
  a wiki) this is fine, but the actual announcement is a plain text e-mail
  and the number of sections and links should probably be reduced for that.

Cheers,
FJP

8 days are too optimistic. Looking at my clock, ich would say, 
"February 21, 2007" is more than one year in the past.

You have to do this _before_ changing 'UNRELEASED' to 'unstable' in the 
changelog or, if there are no pending other changes, before adding a new 
changelog entry.

I'm taking care of this for wouter. Can someone point me in the right
direction please?

I run output-l10n-changes -d . but no translations seem to have changed.
Is there something I'm missing?

Following are the packages, architecture specific ones, that needs
uploading:

arch/arm/glantank
arch/i386/win32-loader
arch/m68k/vmelilo-installer
arch/mips/arcboot-installer
arch/mipsel/colo-installer
arch/mipsel/delo-installer
arch/mips/sibyl-installer
arch/powerpc/prep-installer
arch/powerpc/quik-installer
arch/s390/zipl-installer
arch/sparc/silo-installer
partitioner

Since those are only translation updates, I'll keep to porters to
decide to upload them or not.

Please do it as soon as possible.
