Stefan Lippers-Hollmann had the pleasure of announced today, May 5, the immediate availability for download of the aptosid 2013-01 Debian based Linux operating system. Dubbed Hesperides and powered by Linux kernel 3.9, aptosid 2013-01 is based on Debian Sid’s software repositories as of 5 May, 2013.
“Now that "wheezy" is about to be released, the version freeze that reached up to sid will be lifted again within the next few days.”
“Given that there are a number of high impact changes staging in experimental and are just waiting for the freeze to be lifted, the following 2-3 weeks might be slightly more vibrant and potentially less coordinated than usual in regard to package updates from Debian, therefore we recommend a little caution during dist-upgrades.” was stated in the
official release announcement.
