The dependency on needing genkernel for livecd generation is really |
10 |
hindering and not even needed on sparc or sparc64. Otherwise I could have |
11 |
had you kernel configs ages ago. |

Additionally, making boot loader dependencies modular so that the arch |
14 |
folks could write them would probably speed things up a lot as we don't |
15 |
have to bring you up to speed on it. |

We don't have time to make a GRP set for sparc as it will take way too |
18 |
long to build to make this time frame (stage generation takes 3 days or so |
19 |
on a fast box). This can probably be fixed for 2004.1 as we can setup a |
20 |
cross compile env semi-easily on sparc64, but I don't have the time for |
21 |
this now. |

I thought the release date was semi-flexible, so why this ultimatum? |
