Debian Stretch Enters Its Soft Freeze, Full Freeze In One Month

Written by Michael Larabel in Debian on 7 January 2017 at 07:39 AM EST. 30 Comments

The soft freeze is now upon us for Debian 9.0 "Stretch" while the full freeze will happen in February.

The soft-freeze means that no new source packages will enter Stretch. The full freeze will then happen on 5 February, after which point all changes will require approval to land.

These latest updates on Debian 9 Stretch via this mailing list post. Debian Stretch appears to be getting into shape for release later this year.
