Okay, a new snapshot is uploaded to |

http://dev.gentoo.org/~swift/releng/handbook-x86.tar.gz |

You might want to ping plasmaroo to create a PDF of your architecture; the |
| 12 |
sources are in the draft/ directory ([doc]/en/handbook/draft). |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
I've also quickly updated the handbook for sparc and ppc; snapshots can be |
| 15 |
found at |
| 16 |

Might I say I'm a bit disappointed that this is again a last-second work for |
| 20 |
the documentation team to do all this? |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
The release guidelines state that, during the development phase: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
""" |
| 25 |
The Arch Release Coordinator should be in contact with the releng |
| 26 |
documentation liaison at all times to ensure that the documentation released |
| 27 |
is in sync with the release itself. |
| 28 |
""" |
| 29 |
and |
| 30 |
""" |
| 31 |
The GDP requires a listing of all bootable kernels on each bootable LiveCD, |
| 32 |
a listing of all supported boot options on each bootable LiveCD, the output |
| 33 |
of find on a mounted CD from each category (both bootable LiveCDs and a |
| 34 |
Packages CD), and the output of find on a booted universal/ minimal LiveCD. |
| 35 |
The information can be sent to the releng GDP liaison, who is listed on the |
| 36 |
releng Project Page. |
| 37 |
""" |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
It takes the GDP a lot longer than a few hours to double-check that |
| 40 |
everything works. The snapshots mentioned above are based on Chris' |
| 41 |
feedback, currently the only feedback we've received (sorry, that's not |
| 42 |
true, PPC said there weren't any changes needed). |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
I truely hope that our next release (2005.0) will follow the guidelines |
| 45 |
regarding documentation. |
