I believe that we are working towards this - it would make the most sense. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
| We don't have time to make a GRP set for sparc as it will take way too |
| 18 |
| long to build to make this time frame (stage generation takes 3 days or so |
| 19 |
| on a fast box). This can probably be fixed for 2004.1 as we can setup a |
| 20 |
| cross compile env semi-easily on sparc64, but I don't have the time for |
| 21 |
| this now. |

Sorry if it seemed like an ultimatum - the release date is in fact |
| 27 |
flexible. While we are shooting for Jan 22, you do not have to release |
| 28 |
exactly on that date. Take the time to get done what you need to get |
| 29 |
done - if you go past the release date 5 days because GRP takes a 5 days |
| 30 |
to build, that is ok. Just do what you can in a semi-quick fashion |
| 31 |
(while maintaining good QA procedures), that is all that we can ask for :) |
