Debian 12 “Bookworm” Enters Hard Freeze.
Debian 12 “Bookworm” went into a soft freeze last month and is now in a hard freeze until release time.
Debian 12 is now in a strict hard freeze, and if one wants to move from Debian’s unstable release to Bookworm’s test archive, the release team will need to unblock critical packages and packages without important autopkgtest coverage.
In the hard freeze state, if a package is not critical to the OS, has sufficient autopkgtest coverage, and succeeds on all architectures without causing any regressions, the package will be unlocked after 20 days.
