Re: 11.7 planning + bookworm planning

[Luna Jernberg]

Unsure if i can help with the 11.7 testing this weekend (don't really
have hardware to test on at the moment this week), but pretty sure i
can help out with the 12 testing in June :) and hopefully the 11.8
testing later

So we're looking for a date in June. For June, starting with 10, we have:
kibi  - 10, 17, 24d-i
Luna  - 10, 17, 24CD testing
elbrus- 10, 24release team

Sledge - 10, 17, 24images team

June 10

workable.

As mentioned previously, there'll need to be signatures from each of
the bookworm, bullseye and buster keys on the day.

The 13th does seem a bit close now, without having announced. I could
do it if that's the decision, although I will be away the week before
(returning home some time on the 12th). I'm afraid I don't really have
a feel for how "ready" things would be by then.

It looks like I could currently do any Saturday from May 13th onwards,
until the end of June. I have a slight preference for avoiding the
weekend of June 3rd if possible.

One other thing of note is that, unless I've missed some mail, there's
no press / publicity team member confirmed as available, which is
really a requirement.

Adam

I share your feelings regarding the “tiny bit late” part but I suppose
that should be workable. (It feels a little weird to go from “we don't
have a date yet” to “pick the very first one, just 3 weeks away all of
a sudden”, but…)

We were thinking about the next d-i release before the end of April, so
maybe I'll know how to spin builds after that… which would put May 27 on
the table, which would feel a little less “tomorrow-ish” than May 13.

But again, if we go for May 13, I'll make that work…

Unfortunately, the other person on the images team who has the

It seems a tiny bit late for 13 already, but still, would be awesome. 
What do we think? If we have somebody from CD to do 27 (yes, I remember 
Sledge can't do that one), that would be great as it would be my 
preference; I'll have lots of Debian people physically around me. As the 
DPL mentioned, we might not want to block on press availability,

Press team is in some slight limbo at the moment, I hope to help fix

For the little bit I can do, I'm available to help in Hamburg. Also, if 
anyone from the release team wants to the MiniDC in Hamburg, then Debian 
funds are available for that.

Two weeks have gone by since the last mail in this thread.


If I did the bookkeeping correctly, the missing necessary teams are press and

The 13th is in a month from today. We're still missing press and a 
cooked solution for the release team.


That means I'm going to have two part in this e-mail:
1) question in public what the options are for me handling the release
   day
2) extend with possible dates into June (because finding a date seems to
   be a major bottle neck for the bookworm release)

Re 1)
I'll be at the Debian Reunion Hamburg on the 27, so that feels like a 
good day (albeit probably missing talks) to do the release if I were to 
handle it without the experienced team members. We would still be 
missing CD & press too for that day.


For me to do the release, I'd need to get my hands on the key, but I 
don't see me traveling to Jonathan any time soon (and I don't expect the 
reverse to happen either). Are there *established* secure ways of 
handing over keys without real-life meetings?


I think that most of the required actions for the Release Team during a 
release are documented on the Wiki [1]. I think I can handle those 
(albeit some are documented a bit dense). Are there known items missing?


Re 2)
Let's see when people are available for
  May 13, 20, 27
 June  3, 10, 17, 24

In June, I can do 10 and 24 and if needed I can arrange 3.

13th could work. I'll admit I'm a little anxious about the amount of

At this stage, I'd still like to have at least two releases out. The
first few weeks after the Alpha 2 release were awfully quiet
feedback-wise, that's much better now, and we've got a few fixes and
improvements queued up. There's also a brand new set of shim* packages,
which should definitely end up in some release at some point.

Without having checked with Steve yet, I certainly expect us to be able
to publish at least a release in March and another before say mid-April…

… which should be all good for a tentative release in May, we would
still have time for a few extra tweaks with a final debian-installer
upload, should they be needed at that stage (rather than wait until
12.1).

Dear all,

I know some people will call me crazy, but can and should we combine 
this with finding a release date for bookworm?


From where I'm looking, bookworm is looking pretty good. Obviously 
we'll have to follow through on the flurry of unblock requests that came 
in after the hard freeze, but that should be manageable in a couple of 
weeks. kibi just told me on IRC that asking this question now is not 
crazy from a d-i point of view. That hopefully means that around the end 
of April, also the bookworm d-i should™ be ready for release (kibi, I'm 
sure you'll comment on this if I got you wrong or if you want to provide 
more details).


So, shall we add availability for May too? 6th, 13th, 20th (Ascension 
weekend), and 27th (coincides with DebianReunionHamburg)?
