One of the best ways of getting the release-critical bugs under
control is to freeze potato. As long as we can upload packages, we
will upload bugs. If we freeze now, we can reduce the number of bugs
to a reasonable level over the next few weeks. By the time
boot-floppies are ready
Where is Oldenburg geographically? E.g. how far from Holland? :-)
Groningen is about 100km. It's 50km south of the coast, where
the coast makes its way to the inner country. (difficult to
explain.)

Once 2.2.12 makes it out of Incoming, we will have 8 kernel versions in
the unstable distribution? Do we REALLY need to provide that many
versions of the kernel??
What about just keeping the last 2.0.x and the last 2.2.x ? It's also
a lot of space on the ftp site.

I don't know much about the plans for the boot-floppies yet. Could

A minimum is two months for this -- if we start now to work on this.

sorry for the confuse layout on http://master.debian.org/~koptein
`log for successful build of x' means also a bad/failed package; this

mozilla should work for potato
Maybe it will ;) We'll try.
I try it now serveral weeks (not constantly), but all what i get is the
'composer' mode on powerpc (the one without the menus) or a window without
anything in it. It makes no different if i use the M4 version from master
it done the last three years.

have the linux-cvs tree (as a debian package) in experimental?? This

I like also to have the powerpc-debian-cd available before we release.

Yes, but then you have both systems included in one kernel and such kernels
are big. And i don't know if its always possible (as for two or three years).
