New cdbuilder server improves Debian infrastructure
,----[ Quote ]
| Today, the Debian project administrators are
| activating a new cdbuilder server. The server
| computes the official Debian ISO images once
| all software packages are ready for a new
| Debian release. While the old system needed 20
| hours to build the ISOs, the new server needs
| less than two hours for the same job.

Interview: Steve McIntyre of Debian
,----[ Quote ]
| hO: Lenny is out, which is great news. Debian has a history of very long
| release cycles, compared to other distros. "release when ready" is the
| project's motto. Will that be changing in the near future?
|
| SM: To a certain extent, that policy already has changed. In the past, we
| didn't mention potential release dates at all and we'd simply aim to release
| when certain goals had been met. For the last two release cycles, we have
| instead tried to pick a target release window (18-24 months from the previous
| release) and some goals that should fit that target date. In each of those
| releases (Etch and Lenny), I'm happy that we have hit the target with both
| taking 22 months. It would be nice to be closer to the beginning of that
| window, but it's difficult to guarantee that we'll get there every time when
| we're working as volunteers.
