Consider basing Tails on quarterly snapshots of Debian testing
Originally created by @intrigeri on #12615 (Redmine)
According to our plan (https://tails.boum.org/blueprint/Debian_Stretch/#rolling), we should decide whether we start tracking Debian testing soonish, so that if we choose to do so, we can start tracking Debian testing Needs Validation months after the Debian Stretch release, i.e. around December, 2017. The major release on our schedule that’s closest to this date is 3.4, that we plan to release on 2018-01-16. So we should analyze how the Stretch porting went etc., as the blueprint describes, early enough to make it feasible to release something based on Debian testing in January 2018. I think we should:
- do the research/analysis before Tails summit
- I’m not available in August so I’ll try to do my share by the end of July
- others (mostly anonym for the test suite part, our doc writers, and perhaps our Debian person) can get started whenever they want; let me know if having subtasks assigned to one of you for each area that needs some work would help you keep track of it :)
- make a decision during Tails summit
Then, if we decide to walk the rolling path, we’ll have 4.5 months to handle the transition, which should be enough I guess.
