Finally, after prodding the release managers, we’ve received the
go ahead to
start the GNUstep transition. GNUstep gui is still
stuck in the NEW queue,
after originally being REJECTED due to a
silly licensing issue.
So, hopefully the Debian ftp-masters will ACCEPT gnustep-gui soon, all the
GNUstep packages will get rebuilt quickly, and maybe we’ll have a GNUstep
release in Lenny that’s less than a year old. <crosses fingers> The freeze for
libraries was supposed to happen already. I hope they’ll hold off until
GNUstep goes through.

Almost all the packages have been uploaded. Now we’re just waiting…

P.S. We promise that this transition will be much less painful than the last
GNUstep transition.

update: gnustep-gui has just been ACCEPTED.
