Bug#904525: release-notes: Links to buster release notes don't work

[Rick Thomas]

Package: release-notes
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On webpage
https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/releasenotes
There are a bunch of links that are claimed to be for draft release notes for Buster.

Unfortunately, all of them wind up at “Page not found”.

Is this deliberate? Or is it possibly a result of some recent change of servers, or the like?

Is release-notes the right package for this bug report? If not, then what?

Thanks!
Rick

For the moment, there is no draft for buster release notes. So this is
deliberate.

Since the freeze has started, are there plans to get the release notes
for buster published (even if only a draft)?

Hello all,
(adding -release to Cc since they are "in charge" for the release notes)

I think we are still trying to find time to do this !

Technically:
Do we create a branch for Stretch and use master for Buster,
or use a branch for Buster? (what's the use of master?)
I prefer the first solution.

In any case, -www should be asked to update cron/parts/7release-notes
to add the build for the website.

If nobody disagree or run faster, I can do it in the next few
days.

Thanks for the reminder.

Ack, lets move along with using master for buster. I have pushed a
stretch branch now, so it can be used for the job.

Thanks.

Is there a salsa repo for that ? I might be tempted to do a MR for it
if there is.
