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.

    I still use Debian Sarge on my current server.

    Bad idea. Support for Sarge ended in April, so you haven't been getting any security updates since then, and there are some known weaknesses.

    You should upgrade to Etch, ASAP.

    Look, just get his IP address and do it for him.
