Hi, I had a longer discussion with our release manager who said in this discussion that there's no progress in the freeze of woody. We won't enter the next stage of the freeze until the base and standard packages are in a releasable state - and the number of RC bugs in these packages is increasing (one reason is e.g. that some of these packages like boot-floppies break when new upstream versions of other packages they depend on are uploaded which may lead to RC bugs like #127405). woody is officially frozen for several months but it's still possible for new upstream versions of every package to enter testing.
My personal motivation goes down to zero because I did try to get my own packages in a releasable state when the freeze was announced the first time at about one year ago and I participated in several bug squashing parties and I did go through RC bug lists at other times to help to get woody released only to see that the freeze stalled soon later. It seems noone really cares to get woody released. What am I doing all my work for Debian for when woody will never become stable? cu Adrian
