Debian 6.0 Squeeze
: Call for Upgrade and Installation tests
November 16th, 2010
The Debian project is proud to announce, that its upcoming release
Debian 6.0 Squeeze
has entered the final phase of its development
cycle and is nearly in its final form. We now seek the help of our users
to find the remaining bugs related to upgrades from the previous stable
release as well as bugs related to the installation of fresh systems.
If you plan to install a fresh Debian system in the near future, please
consider installing Debian Squeeze
with the debian-installer
available at
https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/.
There is also a list of known errata
available, as well as a detailed
installation manual. As usual problems should be reported as an installation
report.
Upgrade tests from Debian 5.0 Lenny
to the current Debian testing
branch are also welcome. Please see the current release
notes about known problems and their workarounds. Please take
special care about chapter Recording
the session
, which explains how you can log the output of the
various commands during the upgrade process, in case you encounter a
problem and would like to report it. If you encounter any problems, please
report it as a bug against the upgrade-reports package.
More experiences user can help by triaging bugs for virtual upgrade-reports and installation-reports packages or by proposing texts for problems, which should be documented in the release-notes.
