cairo, directfb and cdebconf

If I understand Jérémy's comments correctly, cdebconf will need to be
modified and will need a versioned build dep on the new cairo/directfb
packages when those have been uploaded.

Reason: without those modifications cdebconf-gtk-udeb can no longer be
rebuilt correctly against the new cairo/directfb libs.

Can we please get an RC1 release out and not keep pushing it back for
every upload of a random package on which D-I depends? The way things are
going now we'll very likely to need an RC2 for some reason anyway and
meanwhile we are getting absolutely NO proper D-I testing.

Cheers,
FJP

I tend to disagree. cairo is uploaded, directfb and cdebconf are
(co-)maintained by members of the d-i team and these are the last we are
waiting on for d-i RC1 AFAICS?

Why would we need an RC2 anyway? Unless there are very good reasons to
do an RC2, we should be releasing about a month after RC1 IMHO.

Cheers

Luk

Yes, I agree on that too. We should try to avoid an RC2 and then wait
a cuple of days more won't hurt.

Hmmm. I have not seen any call for translations of the release notes yet,
at least not on the d-i18n list where translators tend to hang out.
AFAICT the Lenny release notes aren't even being built yet for the
website.

How does that fit in your planning?

Fine. But expect the delay to be at least a week, not "a couple of days".
Also, I had not yet seen that you were even aware that cdebconf would need
to be updated.

I'm also willing to bet that there will be new reasons for an RC2 coming
up over the next few weeks, but I guess we'll have to see.

Also, can you please get someone to finally upload the powerpc specific
udebs so that for example the final and correct translation stats can be
calculated?

I should say that I strongly agree with Frans. There will definitely
be some reason for a RC2.

And in the meantime, we've delayed RC1 by "a couple of days" since
several weeks now.

We're now waiting for mipsel kernel to be made available and upload
the kernel udeb packages.

Cairo packages are ready in most architectures as shown at
[url]http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/package.php?p=cairo[/url] and Jeremy
is going to upload cdebconf. This would allow us to get it all right
in two or three days.

If Jeremy can't do the upload of cdebconf, I can do it. Jeremy?
