Release snapshots are complete and total hacks. Our current (second) |
| 9 |
release snapshot was taken on March 5th. Since then, we've injected |
| 10 |
upwards of 50 different ebuilds into it to resolve various bugs. We |
| 11 |
cannot publish the release snapshot until the release, as we often have |
| 12 |
security fixes in the snapshot that are not public (yet) and we could |
| 13 |
potentially get into some trouble for this if they were to be |
| 14 |
publicized. Unfortunately, until the release, your best course of |
| 15 |
action is to ask. |
