Anticipating abundant anonymous aardvarks in the Ubuntu archive.

[news 28]

The opening of the next release will begin sometime next week, with

various changes to the packaging toolchain, notably a large dpkg merge

with some buildflags and buildinfo bits, and a move to the upstream

implementation of ddebs in debhelper. Currently, however, we are, by

decree of our sabdfl (who might be having too much fun reading the

dictionary's entire A section), taking a much-needed and well-deserved

long weekend.

 

So, if you're super keen to get working, by all means, you can prep

your merges locally or in PPAs, and be ready to blat it all at the

archive, but I would suggest that we all take some time to go hang

out outside, remind ourselves that there are things other than Linux

distributions and Free Software and aruging^Wdebating on IRC.

 

Mark told me to make this email clever and include lots of "A" words,

so the remainder of this email is dedicated to that:

 

A

AA

AAA

AAAA

AAAAA

AAAAAA

 

Actually, I've got nothing. Have a good weekend, everyone, and we can

all look forward to an exciting and productive AA/17.10 cycle.

 

... Adam
