Debian 9859 Published by

Andreas Barth has posted the current timeline for the Debian Etch release



We expect to release etch as planned in beginning of December 2006.

Our time line still is:

N-117 = Mon 30 Jul 06: freeze essential toolchain, kernels
N-110 = Mon 7 Aug 06: freeze base, non-essential toolchain (including
e.g. cdbs)
N-105 = Mon 14 Aug 06: d-i RC [directly after base freeze]
N-45 = Wed 18 Oct 06: general freeze [about 2 months after base
freeze, d-i RC]
N = Mon 4 Dec 06: release [1.5 months for the general freeze]

The good news is that we are on track to reach this goal.
