d-i & svn take two

Happily I was wrong last night, and subversion 1.0's cvs2svn was able to import the d-i cvs repository, with only a little bit of manual rcs file editing. I let that run overnight (and got to bad around 4 am), and this morning I was able to get the test repository up and working, and added a branch that has everything moved around in a more logical layout. So far the only big problem is a nasty one involving the d-i manual, which encodes cvs revision numbers as part of its translation process.

I had somehow missed Colin's post to d-d-a about release schedules, although he had run it by me beforehand, so it was no big suprise. But this meant I had to summarise d-i status and what we need to do in the next 3 weeks, so another long email was written. We have knocked down a lot of todo items since beta 2: half of the errata, grub, graphical boot screens, wireless configurator, base-config simplified prompting, better image names, countrychooser. I was suprised at the end of that list how long it was. Still tons of stuff to do though.

Now I'm wiped out after two late nights with not enough sleep. Bed.
