Ubuntu announcements [LWN.net]

The edgy beta freeze is now officially in effect. Certain fixes will still be accepted, particularly those concerning the CD build process or the CD environment.

The first implementation of the "Provide debug symbols for all packages" specification has been announced. "A while ago I wrote the package 'pkg-create-dbgsym' which automatically creates -dbgsym .ddebs (debug symbol debs) at package build. This package has been installed in the edgy buildd chroots for quite some time."
