It is worth mentioning OpenJDK in Debian, but the conclusion is plain wrong and

Yes, I agress it is a good idea to have the versioning of the next
release desided alread at release time for release notes.
I was just a bit used to get to wonder about that a bit until release,
making guesses, betting etc. :)

That has been announced by Adeodato Simó on 2009-01-28. It's a
good idea to decide both release (number) and code name one
release ahead for stuff like release notes, right
Hi
I found this in the release notes:
4.10. Deprecated packages
With the next release of Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 (codenamed squeeze)
   a bigger number of server packages will be deprecated, thus
updating to newer versions of those now will save you from
trouble when updating to 6.

Zitat von "Julien Cristau" :
I don't think recommending its use in the release notes for
etch->lenny is a good idea at all.

are some cases, where this is not possible. At som

Zitat von "Steve Langasek" :
This is not a matter for you to decide by fiat. The tools recommended in
the release notes should be the ones that work most reliably for
dist-upgrading from the previous release. Based on various upgrade reports
I've seen over the past year, that isn't aptitude.

Hi!
Attached you'll find the current draft of the announcement for the lenny
