Debian GNU/Linux [LWN.net]

The Debian Weekly News for August 26, 2003 is out, with another look at LinEx, software patents in Europe, the next Debian release, Debian Birthday Party Aftermath, and much more.

Core PAM packages have been uploaded to unstable. This upload addresses the longstanding issue of central management of PAM authentication/password services in Debian. These packages are in need of further testing so they can be included in the Sarge release.

A new mailing list has been created to help track release critical bugs, and hopefully squash them more quickly.

DebianPlanet has updated instructions for backporting Gnome 2.2 on a Woody system.

That short review makes it sound like nothing much has been happening!
In fact, Debian has been a hive of activity over the past week. The next release was mentioned, but you didn't bother mentioning the ambitious targets or the new temporary NMU policy to prepare for the release - a major change to policy which seems to be having great effects.
