+<p>Welcome to this year's 17th issue of DPN, the newsletter for the Debian
+community. Topics covered in this issue include:</p>
+<ul>
+  <li>Release Update</li>
+  <li>General Resolution: Project membership procedures</li>
+  <li>Better backports.org Support</li>
+</ul>
+
+
+<a name="1"><h2>Release Update</h2></a>
+
+<p>Luk Claes
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/12/msg00006.html">reported</a>
+about the state of the upcoming stable release Debian GNU/Linux 5.0
+<q>Lenny</q>.  While there are still a lot of release critical bugs open, he
+explained that there is only <q>a <q>short list</q> of bugs that must
+absolutely be fixed for Lenny</q>.  At the moment the most important blocking
+issue is the missing second release candidate for the debian-installer, which
+is still <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2008/12/msg00209.html">being worked
+on</a>. Christian Perrier
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2008/12/msg00228.html">pointed
+out</a>, that the best way to help the debian-installer team is to test the so
+called <q>daily</q> builds of the installation images, which are available from
+the <a href="http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/">debian-installer
+website</a>.</p>
+
+<p>The release could also be affected by the outcome of the recently <a
+href="http://www.debian.org/vote/2008/vote_003">started vote</a> on the General
+Resolution titled <q>Lenny and resolving DFSG violations</q>.  The vote has
+been discussed controversially on the debian-vote mailing list; for the full
+discussion please refer to the mailing list
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-vote">archives</a>.</p>
+
+<p>In related news, Peter Palfrader
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-hppa/2008/12/msg00000.html">wondered</a>
+whether the PA-RISC architecture (also known as "HPPA") is currently fit to be
+released with Lenny, since Debian's own HPPA infrastructure is in very bad
+shape.  When several people offered their private HPPA hardware, Martin
+Zobel-Helas <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2008/12/msg00381.html">pointed
+out</a>, that the real problem is not missing hardware, but a kernel related
+issue, which needs to be fixed.  Helge Deller <a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-hppa/2008/12/msg00009.html">reported</a> on
+progress regarding that issue, but it is not yet fixed completely.</p>
+
+
+<a name="2"><h2>General Resolution: Project membership procedures</h2></a>
+
+<p>A recently finished
+<a href="http://www.debian.org/vote/2008/vote_002">General Resolution</a> was
+concerned with the proposal by Debian Account Manager Jörg Jaspert about <a
+href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/10/msg00005.html">Debian
+membership</a> changes, especially in regard to non technical /
+package-oriented contributions to the project.  Lucas Nussbaum
+<a href="http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/blog/?p=322">blogged about</a> the
+different options, and the general meaning of this General Resolution.  In the
+end, the second option, <q>Invite the DAM to further discuss until vote or
+consensus, leading to a new proposal</q>, won.</p>
+
+
+<a name="3"><h2>Better backports.org Support</h2></a>
+
+<!-- Note to the German translator:  The blog is availabe in german, too.  You might want to replace the .en.html with .de.html in the german translation. -->
+<p>Gerfried Fuchs
+<a href="http://alfie.ist.org/blog/debian/backports-support.en.html">announced</a>
+two services that facilitate the tracking of what's going on on
+<a href="http://www.backports.org">backports.org</a>, an unofficial service
+offering updated packages for the current stable release.  One of the new
+services is a
+<a href="http://security-tracker.debian.net/tracker/status/release/stable-backports">security
+tracker</a>, the other one is a version <a href="http://backports.deb.at/">comparison</a> between the
+different Debian releases and the package versions available on backports.org.</p>
+
+
+<a name="4"><h2>Future of GTK 1.2</h2></a>
+
+<p>Since version 1.2 of the
+<a href="http://packages.debian.org/src:gtk+1.2">GTK tool kit</a> has been
+orphaned by its upstream developers as well as its Debian maintainers for quite
+some time and has also collected a number of
+<a href="http://bugs.debian.org/src:gtk+1.2">bugs</a> in the meantime, it is
+scheduled to be removed during the releasing cycle for Debian <q>Squeeze</q>,
+the version following Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 <q>Lenny</q>.  However, several
+packages are still depending on that library.  Josselin Mouette
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/12/msg00294.html">created</a> a
+list of the concerned packages and tried to find alternative applications.</p>
+
+<p>Morten Kjeldgaard
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/12/msg00304.html">argued</a>,
+that there are still a lot of useful (scientific) applications depending on
+GTK+ 1.2, which are still in use. Charles Plessy
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/12/msg00355.html">explained</a>,
+that with nobody taking care of GTK+ 1.2, there is no other choice but to port
+these applications to newer versions of that tool kit, which has worked very
+well for other examples.</p>
+
+
+<a name="5"><h2>Bug Squashing Party held at MIT</h2></a>
+
+<p>Greg Price
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/12/msg00513.html">reported</a>
+about a Bug Squashing Party which was held last Sunday and was hosted by the
+student computing group of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 15 people
+contributed to resolutions or partial resolutions of 11 RC bugs, lowering the
+number of release critical bugs to 105. Greg also pointed to
+<a href="http://debathena.mit.edu/debian-bts/">some scripts</a> they found useful
+to create lists of relevant bugs.</p>
+
+
+<a name="6"><h2>Other news</h2></a>
+
+<p>The 11th issue of the
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/12/msg00001.html">miscellaneous
+news for developers</a> has been released and covers the following topics:</p>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>CD/DVD images for Lenny</li>
+  <li>License AGPL v3.0 is suitable for main</li>
+  <li>Building CD/DVD images made easier</li>
+  <li>Mono 2.0 transition in progress</li>
+  <li>SOAP interface to the PTS</li>
+  <li>Tracking GCC 4.4 related build errors</li>
+  <li>Mirror of git repositories on Alioth</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>Charles Plessy
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/12/msg00108.html">wondered</a>
+if it would help the release to file properly justified 'requests for removal'
+bugs for packages that have a low <a href="http://popcon.debian.org">popularity
+contest value</a>, more or less inactive maintainers and generally seem to be
+in bad shape, maybe even orphaned upstream-wise. Christian Perrier
+<a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/12/msg00113.html">answered</a>
+affirmed this idea.</p>
+
+<p>Jörg Jaspert <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2008/12/msg00003.html">announced</a>
+that Frank Lichtenheld has been added to the FTP team.</p>
+
+<p>Junichi Uekawa <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/12/msg00256.html">announced</a>
+an upcoming meeting taking place in <a href="http://tokyodebian.alioth.debian.org/2008-12.html">Tokyo,
+Japan</a>.</p>
+
+<p>Charles Plessy <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2008/12/msg00442.html">proposed
+a peer review system</a> for the copyright files of Debian packages.</p>
+
+
+<a name="7"><h2>New Maintainer</h2></a>
+
+<p>One applicant has been <a href="http://lists.debian.org/debian-project/2008/12/msg00049.html">accepted</a>
+as Debian Maintainer since the prior issue of the Debian Project News.<br />
+Please welcome Eugene V. Lyubimkin into our project!</p>
+
+
+<a name="8"><h2>Release-critical bugs statistics for the upcoming release</h2></a>
+
+<p>According to the <a href="http://bts.turmzimmer.net/details.php">unofficial
+RC-bugs count</a>, the upcoming release Debian GNU/Linux 5.0 <q>Lenny</q> is
+currently affected by 112 release critical bugs.  39 of them have already been
+fixed in Debian's <q>unstable</q> branch. Of the remaining 73 release critical bugs,
+30 already have a patch (which might need testing) and 7 are marked as pending.</p>
+
+<p>Ignoring these bugs as well as release critical bugs for packages in contrib or
+non-free, 34 release critical bugs remain to be solved for the release to
+happen.</p>
+
+
+<a name="9"><h2>Important Debian Security Advisories</h2></a>
+
+<p>Debian's Security Team recently released advisories for these packages (among others):</p>
