Debian 3.0 (Woody) May 1?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the best-gets-better dept.

dex@ruunat noted that this morning, in a message to the debian-devel-announce mailing list, Anthony Towns, Debian's Release Manager, wrote: "I'm becoming increasingly confident in woody's release readiness. So, to go out on a limb: Debian 3.0 (codenamed woody) will release on May 1st, 2002." Congrats to all the debheads putting this thing together. I have a blank CDR waiting ;)

  1. KDE is better old than broke by danrees · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    DanielS is spot on again - a stable release should be about being able to get things done with no crashes, no segfaults and no bugs whatsoever. In terms of productivity, KDE3 doesn't offer *that much* over KDE 2.2.2, and so there isn't any point in rushing it. I would rather have KDE 2.2.2 packages that work than broken KDE 3 packages. People moan about KDE 3 debs not being available yet, but then you just have to look at the problems Mandrake users are having with their 8.2 RPMs which screw up their existing installation...
