Yeah. When we near a release, both catalyst and genkernel start dumping |
| 8 |
out new versions as we tweak things and fix bugs. Things will slow down |
| 9 |
in another month or so with catalyst, at least. I honestly don't expect |
| 10 |
any more than one more release of catalyst 1.x any time soon. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
After the release, we will be shifting our focus on catalyst 2.0 and |
| 13 |
things will get shaken up a little bit, as catalyst 2 is "mostly |
| 14 |
compatible" with catalyst 1.x spec files. Don't worry, we'll update the |
| 15 |
templates that ship with the package, so you guys won't be on your own. |
| 16 |
We also plan on updating the online documentation to be accurate for |
| 17 |
both catalyst 1.x and catalyst 2.x. |

Hey now, I'm only using a dual Opteron. :P |

The main reason for the rapid changes is we have a fairly large number |
| 25 |
of people (all of Release Engineering) doing builds at the moment since |
| 26 |
we're nearing a release. That's a lot of people squashing and finding |
| 27 |
bugs. |
