We're supposed to be at mass migration step however some buildds are late and this will delay the release a bit. Two modules that are critical for this release aren't yet built for all architectures (cdebconf and debian-installer-utils).

There are other modules that aren't yet built but those aren't so critical for the release. I expect that tomorrow we have them all built, we will see.

Other pending migration, that is a real blocker for the release, is apt 0.7.11 that fixes the famous GRUB installation failure. This is also blocked due missing architectures and I hope we get it on lenny by tomorrow too.

I'm doing my best to avoid further delays, let's see how fast all those go and I'll try to be as fast as possible to handle next steps.

As soon as a next step is done, I'll send another status update.

Stay tuned ;-)

Cheers,
