1 For those of you that do not know, my personal spec files are available
2 on toucan at /home/wolf31o2/stuff/livecd and should cover everything you
3 will need. They also make good references for any problems you guys
4 might be having with your pre-release building.
5
6 Some things we *really* want to see on all releases that are capable:
7
8 If you use "normal" keymaps like x86 does, make sure to add
9 livecd/bootargs: dokeymap to your livecd-stage2 spec files.
10
11 There should be *NO* livecd/overlay: on your minimal CD, as we aren't
12 putting docs on them. Your universal CD should have the normal
13 directories on it. Please be sure to rename your handbook-$arch to just
14 handbook before rolling your final ISO. Everybody should check their
15 docs, but you knew this. Remember to check your networkless installs,
16 too.
17
18 Everybody that has support for it, should have "--evms2 --lvm2 --dmraid"
19 on all of their kernels that support it, preferably globally. None of
20 these volume managers start automatically, so a user must use "do*" on
21 them to get them to start.
22
23 There is a new README.txt that is being put on the CD. I plan on
24 rolling at least one more catalyst point release, so if you have
25 something that you want added/removed from this README.txt, please let
26 me know so we can get it changed. I am looking for this file to be
27 mostly generic, but I would also like to list things for all of our
28 architectures.

30 That is all for now... =]
