Hi all: |
| 5 |
Just some updates on what is going on with 2004.0. First of all, thank |
| 6 |
you to everyone for being patient during this process. The product of |
| 7 |
your hard work and attention to detail will not go unnoticed by our |
| 8 |
users. 2004.0 will mark a new generation of Gentoo; we are definitely |
| 9 |
headed forward. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
There are some still some issues that need to be taken care of before |
| 12 |
release. First, profiles need to be updated to no longer use 1.4 but |
| 13 |
rather 2004.0 as their version stamp. I have created a HOWTO that will |
| 14 |
ease this process. Please note that updating the profile link *does not* |
| 15 |
require a rebuild of your stages - at the very least all that you have |
| 16 |
to do is unpack both your portage snapshot and stage tarballs to add the |
| 17 |
new profile directory and update the /etc/make.profile symlink. |
| 18 |
HOWTO: |

Next, I would like to make February 7th the last date that packages can |
| 23 |
be marked stable to be included in the release (I will send a mail to |
| 24 |
- -core as well). As a reminder, February 7th is not a release deadline, |
| 25 |
but rather a date that other developers can use as a benchmark. I know |
| 26 |
that some arches have started their final build (ie sparc), and I in no |
| 27 |
way want to interfere with that. If your arch is ready to release |
| 28 |
2004.0, please do so at your discretion. For x86*, I would like to see a |
| 29 |
release by the end of the month, but for ppc, sparc, mips, etc, I will |
| 30 |
leave the date up to the respective arch leads. Your arch is your show :) |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
That should do it for now. As always, if you have any questions, please |
| 33 |
get a hold of me. Also, for tracking reasons, please place all catalyst |
| 34 |
bugs on bugs.g.o and assign them to release@g.o. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Cheers, |
