Good news...Good news...Posted Jun 8, 2005 13:33 UTC (Wed) by vorlon42 (subscriber, #28435)In reply to: Good news... by freethinker Parent article: Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 released
Two of the packages listed on that page are not actually part of base (or part of sarge at all). A bug on a third package doesn't apply to the version that was released; and the fourth bug was only identified as being of release-critical severity after the release. Which certainly happens sometimes -- anyway, I would hope people actually *try* sarge and compare it to woody, instead of criticizing it for the appearance of release-critical bugs (which, by definition, are not release critical if they didn't stop us from releasing...)

Good news... Posted Jun 8, 2005 23:24 UTC (Wed) by freethinker (guest, #4397) [Link] I've been using sid for a couple of years, I think, so I guess you could say I've tried "sarge plus a little instability". I just thought it was policy not to release while there were any RC bugs; the emails from the RM seem to imply that.
If the packages with bugs on that page aren't in base (and, now that I check, they aren't), why are they there? Isn't that page just for base?
Good news... Posted Jun 9, 2005 0:04 UTC (Thu) by vorlon42 (subscriber, #28435) [Link] Yes, that page is for base; the packages in question were in base at one point, but are not currently, and are not in sarge at all. It's merely a bug in the web page -- bugs in web pages don't necessarily receive the same attention as bugs in packages :)
