"Let's get a new start", 2005.06.18.1400

Moderator: bubulle

Topics:

  • d-i release management
  • sarge branch maintenance and sarge point release management
  • how to get development ramped back up and attract and re-attact more developers
  • how to avoid breaking d-i too badly while doing unstable development; ie, coordinating changes
  • throw out a few general development plans without being too specific (keep this for further, more specialized, meetings)

  • keep supporting 2.4 kernel for etch?
  • 2.6 installation floppies
  • 2.6.11 installer (this could have the danger that backporting changes to Sarge for the 2.6.8 kernel could become more tricky, but advantage is we get a solution for all those SATA problems)
  • switch back to release names in generated sources.list?
