Debian votes to move forward with Lenny releaseDebian votes to move forward with Lenny releasePosted Jan 6, 2009 7:32 UTC (Tue) by BackSeat (subscriber, #1886)Parent article: Debian votes to move forward with Lenny release Packages for inclusion in Debian go through a number of stages (experimental, unstable, testing) before becoming part of the "stable" release. It would seem that determining a package's suitability for inclusion in the "stable" release would be better handled earlier in the chain than potentially days before a new stable release, but that latter behaviour seems the norm now. I greatly admire Debian, but if they keep aiming the shotgun at themselves immediately prior to each release, they are going to do themselves some serious harm one day (if indeed they haven't already). Note that I'm not commenting on the legitimacy of their aims, only their aim of enforcing them at the very last minute. All that said, kudos to the Debian developers: let's hope Lenny can now get out the door soon.
