Releasing has been interesting. It was a lot smoother on mips for |
| 7 |
2004.1 than 2004.0 (even though all of mips 2004.1 is sitting in my dev |
| 8 |
space right now until I give it some final touch ups and dump it to the |
| 9 |
mirrors). I ran into some random glitches and obscure bugs in both |
| 10 |
catalyst and chrooted userland during 2004.0 that were fixed for 2004.1 |
| 11 |
(i.e., make-3.80 will segfault on glibc-2.3.2 on an R5K Indy in chroot |
| 12 |
only). |

Hopefully 2004.2 will be even smoother. I was able to get the stages |
| 15 |
done relatively quickly, but GRP took a little more cause it was the |
| 16 |
first grp set I've generated, and it still needs work. In the case of |
| 17 |
the cobalt-mips support, GRP gave me an xfree build for a system which |
| 18 |
is completely headless. So I'm hoping by 2004.2, I'll be able to have a |
| 19 |
smoother run through GRP and all. |
