What's new in Debian GNU/Linux 3.1

Upgrade support for sparc

Joshua Kwan explained that currently one can't run dist-upgrade from woody to sarge on sparc without upgrading the kernel since glibc complains and refuses to install. However, to upgrade the kernel, one first has to get the new glibc. Steve Langasek has asked him to build transitional kernels.
