Norbert Tretkowski: GPLv3 packages on backports.org

Santiago Vila uploaded base-files 4.0.1~bpo40+1 to backports.org, because the package from etch doesn't include the GPLv3 license. If you're going to upload the backport of a package which software is under the GPLv3, please make sure it depends on at least this version of base-files.

Christian Perrier: Running etch

I just upgraded my home server (kheops) to etch. I just had an issue with lifelines-report, which the former maintainer should be ashamed of. Apart from that glitch, the upgrade went well, thanks to the excellent upgrade advices in the Release Notes. Funnily, I got warned that kheops still has the "base" package installed which I didn't notice in former upgrades. This is pretty expected as kheops has never been reinstalled, is my home server since october 1996 when I installed Debian Buzz on it. I think that I'll just avoid following Santiago Vila's advice and leave "base" installed on my system, indeed. Just for fun. This is the 6th server I upgrade as of now. All other servers were pretty minor servers at work. The big issue is now upgrading the file and print servers and particularly the samba file server which hosts files for 250 users. This is probably the one and only server for which we will setup a clone and play the upgrade scenario a few times. Etch rocks, as expected.

Adeodato Sim : Guadalajara

A couple weeks ago, Debconf-ES II was held in Guadalajara. It was terrific: meeting again some people whom I already knew, many of which are more than fellow developers; meeting for the first time some others who I hadn’t; and, of course (and finally!), Mao. There was also a KDE talk, telling a bit the story of the Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers. I enjoyed it a lot; among other things: As always, eternal gratitude to the people that worked their asses off to make this event possible. Even if not tons of work got done during that weekend, it was surely a big dose of energy for all of us! NP: Astrud, Masaje
