Devs, |
| 16 |
I very much like this idea - I think that a LiveCD release for each |
| 17 |
cycle is a bit too ambitious, especially with regard to how many bugs |
| 18 |
they field. The only thing that we would have to negotiate is the |
| 19 |
universal CD which contains distfiles and stages for a networkless |
| 20 |
installation. We could discuss through that at a later date though |
| 21 |
(2005.x integration if we decide upon it). |

Would this solution work better for everyone than the current one? Kurt, |
| 24 |
would this work from your perspective infra wise? We could align new |
| 25 |
Gentoo-wide features (GPG signing) with bi or tri annual LiveCD |
| 26 |
releases. Hopefully this is a step in a direction that leads towards |
| 27 |
some compromise. |

Also, I would like to apologize if at times I seemed close minded or |
| 30 |
impatient during this thread. Kurt, I surely did not mean to start any |
| 31 |
type of flame war - I do feel strongly about my opinions, but am open |
| 32 |
for compromise, so please don't take any of this as a personal attack. I |
| 33 |
blame it all on this cold from hell that I have ;) |

Cheers, |
