Bugs Delay Release of Debian Lenny

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the better-late-than-buggy dept.

A. B. VerHausen writes to tell us that over 200 release-critical bugs continue to push back Debian Lenny's release date. Originally slated for a September release, there is still a long road to be traveled before Lenny sees the light of day. Project leader Steve McIntyre says they may consider dropping some packages for the release if they continue to cause problems, and while an end of October release is the goal, only time will tell.

    No open source project has bugs or gets delayed. This story is pure poppycock.
    Slashdot told me that only software from Microsoft has these issues.

    Geez Slashdot, you tell me one thing one day and then another thing another day.

    Also I am pretty sure that Ubuntu is based on Debian.

    Yes, in much the same way that elephants and helicopters are both made out of molecules.
