Debian 12.11 - testing completed, images being signed and we'll be back for the next point release on ???

 All finished and wrapping up. The bug I thought was fixed has been identified on two distinct sets of hardware. There are workarounds: the most sensible is *not* to use i386 without a modeset parameter but to just use amd64 instead. amd64 works on the identical problematic hardware in question - just use 64 bit.

Debian 12.11 testing - and we're nearly there

 Almost finished the testing we're going to do at 15:29 UTC. It's all been good - we've found that at least one of the major bug reports from 12.10 is not reproducible now. All good - and many thanks to all testers: Sledge, rattusrattus, egw, smcv (and me).

Debian 12.11 images testing - progress

 We're now well under way: Been joined by a Simon McVittie (smcv) and we're almost through testing most of the standard images. Live image testing is being worked through. All good so far without identifying problems other than mistyping :)

20250517 - Debian point release - Bookworm 12.11 today

In Cottenham with Andy and the usual suspects. The point release update files are already on the servers - anyone can do an "apt-get update ; apt-get dist-upgrade" and update any running machine. This machine has just been upgraded and "just worked".

Here to do release testing for the images that we will end up publishing later in the day.

Expecting one more of us to turn up a bit later. Team will be working on IRC on #debian-cd

20250111 Release media testing for Debian 12.9

 We're part way through the testing of release media. RattusRattus, Isy, Sledge, smcv and Helen in Cambridge, a new tester Blew in Manchester, another new tester MerCury[m] and also  highvoltage in South Africa.

Everything is going well so far and we're chasing through the test schedule.

Sorry not to be there in Cambridgeshire with friends - but the room is fairly small and busy :) 


[UPDATE/EDIT - at 20250111 1701 - we're pretty much complete on the testing]
