hppa plans for the squeeze cycle

[Marc Brockschmidt-4]

Heya,

As announced on dda [RT1], we want to get an impression when releasing
Squeeze is feasible. We have proposed a (quite ambitious) freeze in December
2009, and some developers have noted that their planned changes wouldn't be
possible in this time frame. So, to find out when releasing would work for
most people, it would be great if you could answer the following questions:

Do you have any big changes planned? How much time would they take, and
what consequences are there for the rest of the project?

How many "big" transitions will the upcoming changes cause? When should those
happen? Can we do something to make them easier?

Thanks,
Marc

HPPA will be switching to NPTL in glibc.

The switch should be transparent, nobody should notice.

I would like to have it complete by the end of the month.

I don't know the answer to these questions.

Cheers,
Carlos.
