yes, i'm aware of that. however.. my original plan was (quoting from irc): 09:43:18 < dba> Ady2: syslinux finally left new; so.. plan is to upload the current 6.03~pre1 to unstable in two weeks, 09:43:40 < dba> and then have newest 6.03~pre in experimental again and deal with the gnu-efi transition there. 09:58:48 < Ady2> dba: TY. BTW and FWIW, 6.03-pre11 has _many_ improvements over pre1. And gnu-efi needs to be updated (so to be able to be dealt with). 09:59:27 < dba> Ady2: yes, but i can't upload ~pre11 without fixing the gnu-efi thing first 09:59:48 < Ady2> I understand. 10:00:17 < dba> and i'd prefer having ~pre1 in unstable in two weeks, and ~pre11 in experimental at that time. 10:00:50 < Ady2> sounds reasonable. 10:00:54 < dba> otherwise we can't really fix issues once debian-cd/debian-installer switches to syslinux 6 (which they do with the upload to unstable) i would expect to do the gnu-efi transition within one day, like.. uploading ~pre3-1 to unstable on 17th, latest ~pre to experimental on the 18th, and if all stuff still builds everywhere, upload that to unstable on 19th/20th. the idea was to be extra cautious and upload pre3-1 first to unstable, since it has only a few bugs and they are known, rather than the latest pre available on the 17th to avoid surprises. i could cherry pick this particular fix though. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: [email protected] Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
