Jessie is now "frozen"
Jessie is now "frozen"
The Debian release team today announced that Debian 8.0 (Jessie) is frozen. This basically means that only changes that fix critical bugs will be accepted (some exceptions may be allowed, but only with a waiver from the release team).
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it. -- Brian Kernighan

So broken systemd is "stable"? Time to pack things and move to an other unix land, I guess.

Re: Jessie is now "frozen"
No, that isn't what the man posted. He posted that it's "frozen," not "stable." If there are still issues with systemd, no doubt they will be resolved before the release goes Stable. Fixing issues like that are precisely why they have the freeze in the first place. During the freeze they will add no new functionality, concentrating instead on patching mission-critical bugs.twoflowers wrote:So broken systemd is "stable"?

Re: Jessie is now "frozen"
Like Suse does with their systemd, patch it till it fixes what upstream wont fix? Does not sound like a good plan with limited resources at all.

This sounds more like a teenager planning a party rather than a group of professionals. Why all the hurry?!https://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2014/15/#Freezing wrote:With the freeze occurring as planned on November 5, Lucas Nussbaum blogged: "This is quite an achievement from the project as a whole, and the Release Team specifically. First, we froze on the date announced more than a year ago, and the freeze seems to have been well respected by all maintainers. Second, with 310 RC bugs at the time of the freeze, we are probably breaking a record for all recent Debian releases. Could we have the shorter Debian freeze ever? Given that FOSDEM is 12 weeks away, could we even release before FOSDEM, and have a big party there to celebrate?"
Debian == { > 30, 000 packages }; Debian != systemd
The worst infection of all, is a false sense of security!
It is hard to get away from CLI tools.

Re: Jessie is now "frozen"
I am really looking forward to Jesse going stable, I hope it's worth the wait.
