I don't see any problem with adding features up to the point of the freeze, and I think others on the team share the same opinion. > You might be aware that dpkg is currently already frozen and a release > update posting is pending... I don't think anyone on the team was aware of this until now, neither of any exact date this would be happening (and I try to keep an eye on the irc channel and release mailing list). > Note that in particular the triggers support and any RC bug fixes are > still candidates for migration to testing, though other features might > not be depending on their impact... I can understand that the freeze imposes a feature freeze on those packages, but not that it restricts to only RC bug fixes at this point when there's still 5-6 months to the target release date. regards, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
