Debian Woody Nearing Release

Posted by timothy on Saturday February 16, 2002 @11:05AM from the long-time-comin' dept.

willybur submits word of this Debian Planet story on the upcoming release of its next stable version. The article says: "According to Anthony Towns (our beloved Release Manager), woody is nearing release. All but three RC base bugs are fixed now, and the bugsquashing party is working through the RC bugs in standard. It's not all good news though. The bad news is that this means we're probably releasing soon, and that of the hundreds of less important packages with RC bugs (eg, bugzilla, craft, crossfire-{client,server}, epic4, fvwm95, gmc, gnome-admin, intuitively, kdepim, moon-lander, tkdesk, wine, and xosview) will be getting randomly ripped out of testing ... Check the stuff that's important to you and get it fixed before it's too late." Says willybur: "See the announcement on debian-devel-announce."

Duke Nukem Forever has gone gold, hell froze over, and I got a date ;) Seriously though, good from them. It will be nice to have magazines that compare linux distros compare woody vs. redhat, not potatoe (which is woefully old) to redhat.

Good God. Look at my subject. What a horrible, horrible subject I used. I apologize -- I put "foo" in as a placeholder subject so I could do a preview, and then forgot to change it. I in no way meant it to be "oh foo on Debian" in the grinchy sense. Damn. That probably just painted my entire comment in a light that I did not intend.

I guess I don't need enemies. I have myself.
