I am reminded of a quote from a famous scientist, who said...

Forecasting is very difficult... especially about the future!

I don't know about that, I'm no prophet but I think vbrummond nailed it...

Some people said we would have it released by easter, but I guess we still need a couple more weeks.

We are struggling to stay below 50 RC bugs right now.

But, you can "release" Wheezy by yourself, just edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change where it is written "testing" to "wheezy".

It will only get updates intended to Wheezy once it is released, that way.

Enough.

If one imagines that time-to-release is approximately linear, then the statistically best answer is: late April.

However, RC bugs are currently coming in as fast as they are being fixed--slightly faster when I last checked. So the relationship may not be linear after all (meaning: it may prove to be sometime in May).

But here's the thing. Asking about a release date, prognosticating about it, worrying about it, fretting over it... none of these things actually alters it in any way.

Unless you're running a betting pool, it's time to think about something else. (And if you are running a betting pool, pencil me in for May 10.)

i also do not understand why people get nervous about the actual release date... it's just the Debian way of releasing stable versions which moved me to the Debian community. it's the best way to organise things.... only releasing when it's done. this is what separates Debian from the rest! we should embrace this way of working.

I look at it as declaring a package stable since you can use it before it's "released". Kind of like what's in a name if you know what I mean.

I look at it as declaring; We feel the system is now stable enough to release as a Stable system. (In other words, the job is done.) As opposed to; The packages that have been available for a while already now have our official Stable stamp.

But that is me.

sorry because you are hurt and I have asked due to curiosity and I have never thought you may hurt and also I have thought you know the status.

Perhaps you're not understanding what the other posters in this thread have been saying. Debian does not have a specific release date; Wheezy will become stable when all the release-critical bugs are fixed - i.e. it's ready when it's ready. The release is likely to be soon but no one, not even the Debian release team, knows exactly when.

Hello, i've only been using Gnu/Linux for about two years and was just curious, does Debian release betas and rcs before a release is declared 'stable'?

#18 Post by **dilberts_left_nut** » 2013-04-12 09:25

No.
That is what 'testing' is for.

Pick2 · #19 Post by **Pick2** » 2013-04-12 10:23

Testing is a rolling "alpha - beta - rc" release , until it's released as stable

They do have a beta/rc installer:
