Debian Announces Sarge Will Include GNOME 2.8

Posted by timothy on from the catching-up-is-the-best-revenge dept.

El Cubano writes "A recent posting to the debian-devel-announce mailing list announces that Sarge will release with GNOME 2.8. From the announcement: 'After requests and a detailed proposal from the GNOME team, we accepted an upload of GNOME 2.8 into sid, and, via the usual mechanisms, into sarge. We should mention that the release team was running out of objections to GNOME 2.8 in unstable that the GNOME team hasn't satisfactorily addressed; this, and the fact that they have demonstrated good reaction times of late are the main reasons why we're approving it despite the timing.'"

    Stable is for people who need an unchanging system (no, I'm not one of them), please leave it alone.

    Analogies don't equal equalities, they are merely somewhat analogous.

    So which is Sarge?

    Situation now:
    potato = obselete
    woody = stable
    sid = unstable
    sarge = testing

    Once sarge is declared stable,
    woody = obselete
    sid = unstable
    sarge = stable
    unknown = testing

    So, sid will remain unstable and a new name for the testing branch will have to be decided (unless I missed something and that's already happened).
