Could someone please tell me what the deadline is for adding expanded
partman-btrfs functionality?  My proposal is in a thread on
debian-b...@lists.debian.org, subject: "Re: btrfs subvolume naming
scheme".  A résumé of the read is: add the volume-manager-like
subvolume setup, and hopefully also add btrfs-style raid1 profile
support, and also the question of whether Debian should follow Ubuntu
and openSUSE subvolume naming conventions or Fedora/CentOS/RHEL ones.
The upstream wiki advocates Fedora/CentOS/RHEL-style.

Thank you,
Nicholas

The upcoming release will use whatever is in testing at this point, so
it'll be for a later release.

Next d-i alpha release: late June

2016-06-24 Thread Cyril Brulebois
Hi,

I've just checked with Ben, it seems we could be getting a 4.6 kernel
suitable for testing (no regressions reported from previous version +
mips* FTBFS fix) shortly. We could think about urgenting it into testing
and releasing a new d-i early in the week, which seems OK on the -cd
side too.

Glibc maintainers (esp. Aurélien): you should then have a clear path for
the new glibc in unstable. I'm not sure how much time it'll need to be
ready, that's why I'd slightly prefer if we could go for a d-i release
first (as outlined above). In case major blockers pop up, we would
probably let you go ahead with the new glibc upload and postpone d-i
until glibc reaches testing.

Having checked with -release already, I'm freezing udebs right away.

(Please cc me on replies.)
