Debian Woody Nearing Release · Slashdot Mirror

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."

Woody is going to be obsolete the day it is released.

Everything is obsolete the day it is released. You were obsolete the day you were born.

My guess is that the woody has beeen yanked allready.

I yank woody almost every day. I bet most /. reader's are in the same boat.
