Well, etch freeze started on Aug. 1st 2006 and etch was released on Apr 8th 2007, so 5 months is actually *short*..:-) For people interested in such stuff, here's the release schedule: Early March 2008 Very soft freeze Please start thinking about the release when uploading new major upstream versions. Only upload to unstable if you are sure that the software will be stable before we release. If you are not convinced, use experimental as staging area. Freeze of release goal list We will announce the final list of release goals and report about the progress made in each area. At this point, goals which look too hard to complete for lenny will be removed from the list (and automatically put on the list for lenny+1) Start of the second BSP marathon for Lenny See below for more information about this, but you can and should help with it. Early April 2008 Freeze of the essential toolchain Mid of June 2008 Freeze of the non-essential toolchain and all libraries The "non-essential toolchain" means things like debhelper, cdbs and a big chunk of other things usually needed to produce binary packages. Mid of July 2008 Full freeze Please don't wait with uploads for the last day before the freeze, thanks. September 2008 Release lenny! -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Quoting Gerald (Jerry) Carter ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > Christian, I really disagree here. What made you com to > the decision that 3.0 is batter for a September Debian > release? Because the Debian release team asked maintainers to slow odwn upstream version bumps as of March 2008. And one of the keys of "try to release Debian on time" is avoiding to go against the release team suggestions. (for instance, the KDE packaging team decided to stick with KDE 3.4 for such reasons) Debian entered the freeze stage for lenny on April 1st. Currenly, only the base system packages are frozen, but the freeze should slowly become stronger (the toolchain should come soon). The current schedule for releasing samba 3.2.0 leaves us quite a chort time before the planned release and, with the current manpower we have in the Debian maintenance team, I don't feel comfortable going to 3.2.0 now. That's a very though decision, indeed. I somewhat feel like Steve Langasek will agree (actually he didn't disagree when I proposed this in ou internal mailign listwhile he may be too busy with the Ubuntu release). Of course, I'm ready to hear arguments against that decision... -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
