Hi guys,
The good news, and the bad news.
The good news is that base is back in good shape. glibc, base-passwd and rsync have all had their RC bugs fixed which is very pleasing. ...
The bad news is that this means we're probably releasing soon, and that of the hundreds of less important packages with RC bugs (eg, bugzilla, craft, crossfire-{client,server}, epic4, fvwm95, gmc, gnome-admin, intuitively, kdepim, moon-lander, tkdesk, wine, and xosview) will be getting randomly ripped out of testing (in the case where bugs apply to the version in testing, anyway). What this means, is that if packages you're interested in have accumulated RC bugs (ie serious, grave or critical) you've almost run out of time to get them fixed if you want them released.
What bugs are they talking about with wine?
I only saw one marked as grave: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=133540&repeatmerged=yes
but this one looks worth responding to, too: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=98661&repeatmerged=yes
It might be good for wine developers who like debian to have a look at the debian bug tracking system. The main problem appears to be being addressed, but a little overkill never hurt.
