Social Contract Amendment May Bump Sarge To 2005

Posted by timothy on Monday April 26, 2004 @04:26PM from the unstable-isn't-generally dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Debian's Release Manager Anthony Towns announced that after the Grand Resolution to amend the Social Contract has been successful (it does not only apply to software any more), vital parts to modern Linux systems, such as important documentation, firmware needed for proper hardware support will have to be removed from the distribution before the next release. Moreover, the upcoming installer will need to be changed. He goes on to say that he does not expect this to happen by the end of this year which means that Sarge will not be released in 2004."

> [...] (free vs. libre)

Just to be pedantic -- you mean "libre vs. gratis" -- the translation of "libre" into English is "free"; if you want to differentiate by using another language you need to use both of the distinct terms from that language (or in this case family of languages).
