The Gentoo Release Engineering team is proud to announce Gentoo Linux |
| 2 |
2005.1-r1! |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
The 2005.1-r1 release is simply a media refresh over the 2005.1 release. |
| 5 |
What this means is that it used the same base snapshot, and has very few |
| 6 |
changes. It is essentially nothing more than a bug-fix release. Though |
| 7 |
offered to all architecture teams, only a few had bugs that were large |
| 8 |
enough to warrant an interim release before 2006.0's release next year. |
| 9 |
This media refresh is only of stages and the InstallCD images. The |
| 10 |
PackageCD images from 2005.1 are still valid and have not been rebuilt. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
You will find the new release media under a 2005.1-r1 directory on your |
| 13 |
favorite mirror. The following architectures have participated in the |
| 14 |
media refresh: AMD64, PPC64, SPARC, and x86 |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
This interim release fixes many bugs with 2005.1's release. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
SPARC - Added missing mdadm package |
| 19 |
PPC64 - Updated iprutils/sysfsutils |

| 43 |
|
| 44 |
There is also a new version of the x86 Gentoo Linux Installer LiveCD |
| 45 |
located under /experimental. This version is based off the 2005.1 |
| 46 |
snapshot, but has some bug fixes in it, along with version 0.2 of the |
| 47 |
Gentoo Linux Installer. There is also an AMD64 version of the Gentoo |
| 48 |
Linux Installer LiveCD located under /experimental. This LiveCD is |
| 49 |
fresh off the presses and has not had a lot of testing done. However, |
| 50 |
it is based on the same snapshot that was used successfully to build the |
| 51 |
2005.1 release, so problems should be minimal. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
If you experience problems with either LiveCD, please file a bug on |
| 54 |
http://bugs.gentoo.org under the Gentoo Release Media product. If you |
| 55 |
find a bug with the Installer itself, then file it under the Gentoo |
| 56 |
Linux product and the GLI component. |
