: Anyone have any news on when debian will have an alpha dist.

I've uploaded a self-hosting minimal system (base plus enough of devel to
continue work) to master.debian.org. For the moment, it's only accessible
to Debian developers, but it will move into the "unstable" tree in a few
days. One that happens, the files will start to show up on Debian mirrors.

There are some issues yet to be resolved. For one thing, there is no
installation disk set yet, so for now you need to have something else running
in order to do the install. I expect that to get fixed very quickly once
some other Debian folks get it going.

I've gotten busy again on another project, so will be making only sporadic
additional progress myself for a few weeks.
