On Monday, Adam Barrat of the Debian Release Team announced that Debian developers are progressing towards a code freeze for Debian 6 Squeeze in August.
According to The H Open, “Debian developers are now only waiting until all the changes to the distribution caused by the update to Python 2.6 have been integrated.”
Once these updates are made, Debian 6 will be frozen immediately afterwards and by the end of the year Squeeze should be ready for prime time.
