Hi, As previously announced[1], testing is now frozen. To keep this mail short, and make our lives easier :-), further details about the freeze process and the type of changes which will be eligible for unblocking can be found at [2]. We'll keep the page updated as the freeze hardens, with any major changes being announced on d-d-a. Freeze exceptions have been added for packages in unstable at the beginning at today's 19:52 dinstall; the exception applies only to the specific version of the package - further uploads will require explicit unblock requests as usual. The "grep-excuses" script from devscripts can be used to determine whether a package has been unblocked.
