In response to Patrick's request for status updates, I'm posting the |
| 2 |
current Release Engineering status. |

Release Engineering is well into doing QA and testing for 2005.1 on x86, |
| 5 |
amd64, ppc, ppc64, ia64, and alpha. We are currently testing a new |
| 6 |
version of livecd-tools, catalyst, and genkernel, all of which are |
| 7 |
masked in the tree. We have been on a massive bug-squashing session to |
| 8 |
try to solve any problems before we start building the final release. |

Once we work out the few blocking issues we are reaching now, such as |
| 11 |
the perl->ssl issue Robin was talking about, then we will build a "beta" |
| 12 |
release for 2005.1, which we will start selecting groups of users, |
| 13 |
mostly people who filed bugs against 2005.0, to help us with testing, |
| 14 |
specifically on platforms or hardware which we do not possess ourselves. |
