Almost forgot to mention this: Progeny Debian 3.0 Developer Edition PR2 was released this past Thursday. We’ve continued to track Debian sarge through the recent freeze, and PR2 is primarily intended to deliver these updates. We also fixed a fair number of Anaconda bugs. Other than this, there aren’t a whole lot of changes that are user-visible—as with PR1, the majority of the changes are infrastructural and have to do with our ongoing work on the Componentized Linux Platform Development Kit (PDK).

In contrast, PR3 will introduce several radical, user-visible changes, like the componentized LSB 3.0 core and the X.org and GNOME 2.10 backports we’ve been working on behind the scenes (there, guys, we’re committed to it now :-)). Yes, I’ll be following my own advice and making sure packages built against PR3 are compatible with Debian (in fact, Debian users will be able to use our component repositories as a backports.org sort of service). Anyway. Stay tuned. PR3 should be out around the end of June or so.
