Re: problems with the concept of unstable - testing
Hi, Bastian Venthur wrote: What I see *now* is that the freezes during the last two and the current release are getting longer and longer (~1,5 months, ~4 months and for Lenny at least 5 months). For me this seems to be a serious problem we should not ignore. Important software is outdated in unstable and current hardware doesn't work anymore without resorting to grab packages from experimental or unofficial sources. how about splitting the frozen phase into soft and hard with soft preceding hard? during soft freeze any changes can be made as long as no new RC bugs get introduced, and during hard freeze is what happens today.

Erm, doesn't this happen already? sorry, something i did not clarify, announce a hard freeze after the RC bugs have been resolved. Only for the last touches. -- -- Dionysios Kalofonos -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
