Next release of Debian - when?
When is Debian 1.4 coming out officially? I thought Debian was now working on roughly a three month cycle time for new releases - are we giving up on this strategy?

It doesn't look like we'll be able to do a release before late January, possibly later. There are several reasons for the lag in development, primarily the fact that all our packages are being converted to use the new libc6 (glibc2) library instead of the old libc5. While it may appear like RedHat is moving faster, we actually have more than twice the number of packages they do. In addition, we're an entirely volunteer force, so we can't muster quite the speed as someone who is being paid to work on their upgrade full-time. You can see our work so far (which is reasonably stable) by checking out the unstable tree on our archives. Please read the howto available at http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/ before attempting to install packages from unstable however. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

next release of debian...
Hi, I would like to know the date of the next release of debian. I'm a bit confused, some say debian 1.3 ... others say that it's debian 2.0? What are some of the features of the next release? If this is answered, i sure hope that it be published in www.debian.org too... for others to see. Thanks. Andre --

I was just going to suggest it here ... there should be information on www.debian.org, that helps you to determine if a mirror site is up to date, etc ... and planning the buying of CD's ... (that's a problem, when you are in europe ;) In other words: put the release date of next distrib (or every update) to webpage. Mart Klanberg, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

this is reasonable.
And April 28 will be the release date of 1.3.
The release after 1.3 will be 2.0, and will have glibc in it.
For 1.3 is at the moment being tested by a special testing team,
and is thus, for that team only, already released.
There is already talk about what should be in the release after
1.3, and people discussing this may say the next release should
have glibc in it, forgetting that, officially, 1.3 hasn't been
released yet.

At the moment official documents date it on April 28. We'll see if this is reasonable. And April 28 will be the release date of 1.3. I really doubt that's going to happen. Just look at the number of packages in Incoming waiting to be put into frozen. Are all of those going to just get dumped into 1.3 a few days before it's released? If this happens, we're going to cement our reputation for having the worst-testing distribution around. I hope the release date gets pushed back another month.
