Jessie Release Progress and a stricter freeze policy

Recommended Posts

Stricter Freeze policy

======================

 

The freeze has been progressing for nearly 3 weeks now. We will soon

stop accepting certain changes for Jessie as documented in the

[FREEZE POLICY].

 

*Stricter freeze policy* from the 5th of December:

- The window for getting "important" bug fixes into Jessie is

closing on the 5th of December (point "ii.").

- Have your unblock requests approved before then!

 

For the avoidance of doubt, packages in this category must be

unblocked before 5th December. They can migrate in the days

following.

 

[FREEZE POLICY]: https://release.debian.org/jessie/freeze_policy.html

 

Release progress

================

 

There has been a rapid decline in open RC bugs in testing. We are now

at ~265 RC bugs and just 20 days ago there were 408 RC bugs. This is

quite an impressive rate.

 

We want to encourage everyone to keep fixing [RC BUGS].

 

The Release Notes still need quite a bit of work. There is a

[JESSIE NOTES DRAFT] that we encourage people to review already. It is

updated once a day from [RN SRC] and patches are welcome.

 

Change requests and patches should be submitted as bug reports against

the "release-notes" pseudo-package.

 

[RC BUGS]:

https://udd.debian.org/bugs/?release=jessie_and_sid&patch=ign&merged=ign&done=ign&rtjessie-ignore=ign&rtjessie-can-defer=ign&fnewerval=7&flastmodval=7&rc=1&ctags=1&cdeferred=1&sortby=id&sorto=asc&format=html#results

(NB: This is the list of RC bugs without patches affecting Jessie and sid)
