Debian May 1 Release Delayed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the who's-surprised-by-that dept.

andrew writes "Anthony Towns, Debian's Release Manager, posted this message regarding the status of the expected May 1st release of Woody made reference to in this slashdot story. In short, he says: "So, it's April 30th (for most of the planet, anyway), which probably means folks are beginning to get mildly curious about whether woody'll actually be ready for release tomorrow. The answer is a definite 'kind-of'. Which is to say, 'no'.""

  1. still not kernel 2.4?! by huwj · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Mod me down as trolling if you want, but can someone please explain this quote from the woody release notes to me - "Linux kernel 2.4 is going to be provided as an option, but it is judged not to be mature enough to be a default for most architectures at this time" Am I missing something? I know debian is all about stability but this really seems to be taking conservativeness to extremes.
