Subject: [Tails-dev] Debian derivatives census: Debian 10 (buster) frozen
Hi all,

I note that some Debian derivatives are based on Debian stable. The
Debian release team have recently declared that testing is frozen in
preparation for the upcoming release of Debian 10 (buster).

https://release.debian.org/#release-dates

This means that if you have not already started, you will need to start
the migration of your stable release to be based on Debian 10 (buster)
instead the current base of Debian stretch. Once you have switched to
buster, please update your census page to reflect that if needed.

Those of you who are willing to help finalise the release of buster
are encouraged to commit developer time to fixing the release critical
bugs, organise bug squashing parties and to test upgrades from Debian
stable in order to find more issues that might need to be fixed. At
this time the release team are accepting non-RC fixes where
appropriate, based on their policy for freeze exceptions.

While you are editing your census page, please fill in as much of the
fields as you have data for and sync your page with the template.

Please direct any questions you have to the derivatives list or IRC
channel. We strongly encourage you to join both of these.
