Jochem schrijft: "Vandaag is de code voor de nieuwe Debian release 2.2 bevroren. Men verwacht enkele maanden nodig te hebben voordat 'Potato', zoals deze Debian release heet, stable genoemd mag worden. Een nieuwe 'unstable' release is gecreërd met de naam 'woody', een karakter uit Toystory. Onderstaand verhaal komt uit de debian-announce mailing-list":
The Code Freeze for Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 has begun
"The code freeze for the next Debian release, code named "potato", has begun", says Richard Braakman, current Debian Release Manager. He expects the freeze process to take about two months.
Until the new version is released, there will be three distributions available on our servers: `stable', `frozen', and the new `unstable'.
"The new `unstable' distribution, code named »woody«[1], was created today", continues Richard. The `frozen' and `unstable' distributions start out with the same set of packages. While `unstable' will be updated rapidly, `frozen' will have only bugfixes applied in preparation for its release.
