Known problems targetted for r1
- ruby1.9 has two test scripts that block during the build on hppa. The current build in the archive was hand-built with those two tests explicitly killed. A sourceful upload should be made to deactivate those tests across all architectures to ease security and others updates for Lenny.
- debian-installer needs to be updated to include a new debian-archive-keyring in its images.
- debian-archive-keyring: Get a newly created squeeze key into Lenny.
Bugs targetted for r1
Please note: As of now, if you intend to fix bugs for Lenny, you need to make sure that testing contains a version that is strictly higher than the version you intend to upload to proposed-updates. The only way you currently can use is to upload something to unstable and wait for the migration to testing or by using testing-proposed-updates and notifying the release team.
