Hi all - |
| 2 |
Ok, here's the deal. I just put 1.0.5.1 into Portage. It has two main |
| 3 |
shiny bugfixes. Number one being the small typo fix of modules.update to |
| 4 |
modules-update in default-runscript.sh. The second big fix is that |
| 5 |
catalyst now detects whether or not baselayout created /dev and |
| 6 |
populated it. If it did not, catalyst takes care of it. |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Ok, so baselayout .13-r1 is dead for everything. Use it, and your world |
| 9 |
will hurt. The current stable bootsplash is -r10, but spock and seemant |
| 10 |
say that they will get it bumped ASAP (with the 2004.1 graphics even). |
| 11 |
So, I recommend two things. First, lock baselayout to 1.8.6.13. This can |
| 12 |
be done by adding the following to your LiveCD spec files: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
=sys-apps/baselayout-1.8.6.13 |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If you are building stages, make sure that all other versions of |
| 17 |
baselayout are masked in your snapshot (you could even lock down the |
| 18 |
version in your arch's profile). |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
So, since bootsplash is not ready, which means that you cannot make |
| 21 |
livecds, I recommend that you do the following: |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
1. Test catalyst-1.0.5.1 and mark it stable for your arch. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
2. Build stages and PackageCDs (remember to use the template linked off |
| 26 |
of the release guidelines for the PackageCD!!!!!!) |
| 27 |

| 29 |
|

3. Work on Release Notes |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Get those three tasks complete, and 2004.1 will be a snap. Remember to |
| 33 |
read the release guidelines for QA information!!! |

Cheers - and thanks for the patience, |
