Debian Buster 10 release date 6 July 2019

The next stable version is almost ready: Debian project is a wholly voluntary organization dedicated to developing free software and promoting the ideas of the Free Software community.

The Debian project launched 1993, when Ian Murdock issued an open invitation to software developers to contribute to a complete and coherent distribution of software based on the then new Linux kernel.

This relatively small of dedicated individuals, originally funded by the Free Software Foundation and was influenced by his philosophy GNU project, has developed over the years into an organization that has approximately 1062 developers.

Debian Buster 10

Debian has three different versions:

  • Stable: this is the latest official version. The αυτής της έκδοσης σπανίως ανανεώνονται (εκτός από επείγουσες διορθώσεις s). After Debian 6.0, new versions are released every two years. When a new version is released, the previous stable version becomes oldstable. Version oldstable supported up to 1 time after the release of the new stable release.
  • Testing (under test): this version includes all packages (programs) that are not yet considered stable and need checking. This version is not intended for use on servers or any computer that provides critical services. Nevertheless, many users use it because the programs it contains are the latest.
  • Unstable or sid (still in development): includes the packages under development. This version should be considered as very unstable and is usually used by experienced users. If a package stays for a long time in this version without showing much , is automatically added to the version testing.

As we have mentioned in previous publications, the test version of distribution is often more stable than fixed versions of other distributions.

Debian Buster 10

Version Debian Buster 10 is currently the testing version of Debian Project. But according to an email sent by Niels Thykier to the development team, he will soon be on the Stable channel. The email we received yesterday evening reports:

We plan to release on 2019-07-06.

If you want to celebrate it, please consider attending a Debian release party,
or hosting your own! See https://wiki.debian.org/ReleasePartyBuster for more information.

The final weeks up to the release =================================

In the last week prior to the freeze, testing will be completely frozen and only emergency fixes will be considered in this period. Please consider Tuesday the 2019-06-25 at 13:00 UTC the absolute last moment for submitting unblock requests for buster.

Changes that are not ready to migrate to testing at that time will not be included in buster for the initial release. However, you can still fix bugs in buster via point releases if the change set follows the rules for updates in stable.

Starting now, we will be even more strict when considering unblock requests. Please check the details below and make sure to only upload well-tested *targeted* fixes.

The email is listed as preferred release on July 6th, 2019. This means that developers will have a final deadline for the bug fixes they develop on June 25th, 2019.

After the final date, packet development and all bug fixes will be frozen. That pending will be released with the first point release.

It remains to be seen whether developers are ahead of schedule for the release of the new version.
