Debian Release Manager (luk@debian.org)

Squeeze TODO for the Debian Project:

• Debian Installer
  • d-i should have some kind of exception handling so it's less fragile (degrade instead of break)
  • source compliance (extra suite?)
  • proper udeb dependency handling
  • EFI on i386/amd64 (efi-reader)
  • support WPA network
• Testing Migration
  • britney should have proper udeb support
  • automatic easy hinting
  • build dependencies
  • faster (edos-debcheck)?
  • no ftp-archive and no breakage from dinstall interrupts
• Buildd/Wanna-build
  • full buildd (for all suites and all architectures) and buildd maintainer redundancy
  • architecture qualification taken seriously from the start
  • get rid of the architecture lists in all files, make it a central configuration
  • proper integration of buildd.d.o, wanna-build
  • sbuild/buildd/wanna-build: integrate packaged version and version used on the buildds/wanna-build
  • clean out P-a-s
  • order P-a-s entries on issue which causes them to be listed
  • integrate ~luk/status (update release/migration/testing.pl accordingly)
• Missing In Action
  • an overview of vacations (preferably integrated with MIA tools)
  • more automatic (reminders)
• Quality Assurance
  • extensive and regular piuparts and build tests
  • UDD integration in QA tools
  • removal of obsolete libraries/packages
• Extended cooperation
  • easy interfaces between Debian and almost Debian infrastructure (unofficial buildd network, backports, debian-ports.org etc)
  • better interaction/integration of SRM, volatile, backports, debian-ports.org
