The DebianImportFreeze is scheduled for February 18th according to the release schedule [0]. Almost everything from Debian unstable is in xenial already, some desired packages are still in proposed which may need some help to get into the release before the freeze: - gdal (1.11.3+dfsg-3) This should get into xenial, has fix for segfault with SQLite 3.10.0. - grass (7.0.3-1) This should get into xenial, latest upstream release. - libgdal-grass This should get into xenial, required for GRASS 7.0.3. - netcdf (1:4.4.0-1) This should get into xenial, latest upstream release. - netcdf-fortran (4.4.3-1) This should get into xenial, latest upstream release and required for NetCDF-C 4.4.0. - netcdf-cxx (4.2.1-3) This should get into xenial, rebuilt for NetCDF-C 4.4.0. - netcdf-cxx-legacy (4.2-4) This should get into xenial, rebuilt for NetCDF-C 4.4.0. - netcdf4-python (1.2.2-2) This should get into xenial, rebuilt for NetCDF-C 4.4.0. - python-cligj (0.4.0-1) This should get into xenial, latest upstream release. - fiona (1.6.3-2) Not really important, but includes support for GDAL 2.0. Special mention for ossim (1.8.20.3+ds-2) which is required for OTB 5.2. Ubuntu chose to diverge from Debian for its GCC 5 transition, but now wants the Debian maintainers to carry the Breaks/Replaces changes only required for Ubuntu before merging the new ossim package. [1] I've so far refrained from doing so, because I think the burden should be on Ubuntu to carry that change because they chose to ignore the maintainers in Debian when doing their GCC 5 transition. To get OSSIM 1.8.20-3 into xenial someone else may need to prepare ossim (1.8.20.3+ds-2ubuntu1) [2] with the Breaks/Replaces changes required for Ubuntu if the Ubuntu people cannot be bothered to deal with the issues they created.
