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'.""

      The great quote from the article:

      Hopefully people will be able to use the forthcoming suffering as an incentive to get this done right next time.

      Now that's the hellfire and damnation management theory I subscribe to! =)

    The projects aren't late. The scheduled release dates were just early.

    Yeah.

    Developers all over the world must be waiting with bated breath to release all their new cool features the week AFTER the Debian release ;)

    The last thing I want to read about is debate over when it's time to "release the woody." That is just nasty, and there is no place for such filth on the Internet.
