Author Sarge: GCC 3.4 in Sid

It seems several people uploaded packages to Sid recently which got
build with GCC 3.4. I guess those were not meant like this.
Take a look at the following to learn more:

This is caused by libgcc1 coming from gcc-3.4 now (afaik).

This is expected. New libgcc1 comes from the gcc-3.4 source package.
Matthias cleared this with debian-release before uploading.

Personally, I suspect a conspiracy to prevent any packages uploaded in
the last week or two from entering testing before the freeze ;-)

I don't think this is really funny. The current release scheme sucks,
the gradual freeze was a joke and I would not wonder if Sarge will be
released late in 2005. Honestly, I think we should freeze _Unstable_
short after amd64 has been added and not let anyone upload packages to
it before the RC count is down and Testing and Sid has an (almost) equal
set of packages.

Regards,
Eduard.

Our current approach to release management came to be precisely because the
process of freezing unstable and trying to release it was such a hideous
mess, even when Debian was much smaller in scale.

What we have now isn't perfect, but taking a giant leap backwards isn't
likely to help.

I don't think Eduard suggested freezing unstable and doing away with
testing, but keeping the testing model and freeze testing plus
unstable. If you only freeze testing, new packages can go into
unstable and when you need to make a update to testing you have to use
testing-proposed-updates rather than unstable (which leads to several
problems, such a less testing).

I think this sounds like a interesting approach. Was this
discussed/tried before? If so, does anyone have pointers where I can
read about this?

Cheers,
Michael

Yup. I did never say "freeze for release", just freeze. Do not add new
packages to Unstable. Instead, create a small crew that decides which
package are allowed to enter Unstable (with which level of changes) and
which are not. "central" maintainers (eg. libtiff/gnutls11 maintainers)
can pass a list of "allowed" changes in dependent packages. My imaginary
task force (say, 9 people) would decide which changes should be allowed
and which not. When the package sets in Testing and FrozenSid look close
enough, Testing can be released and Sid "defrosted" again.

Why all this? I still see the current system as pure chaos and doing
Sysiphus work. And the technical committee needs to much time to find
a decission, so it would be more practical to decide less important
things elsewhere.

Regards,
Eduard.
