We will be using catalyst 2.0 (or better). > But what about helping by "working on an official Gentoo release"? Learn catalyst intricately. The main problems that we have are ebuild-related, so a very strong working knowledge of ebuilds are a must, along with the ability to troubleshoot and patch python and bash for catalyst/genkernel. For this release, there won't be enough time. While testing is a major part of release-building, it is also the easiest. > Seems, that you are having a tough time... Not so much... I have had quite a few volunteers for testers and even some build volunteers, but nobody so far to make sure stuff works *before* we get into the release. Want to help out? Make sure all of the base system works on every architecture you can get your hands on from a bootstrap. Make sure the same works from a 2005.1 (or 2005.1-r1) stage3 to build a stage1 tarball. Those two places are where we hit the majority of our bugs during a release. --=20 Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering - Strategic Lead x86 Architecture Team Games - Developer Gentoo Linux --=-MRWTHAtWUS2MgcjeFm8S Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBDutF5kT4lNIS36YERAt7TAJwKBM8YpzHO6YgW5kQvg6EYGpEc7ACeIlwo YRAa1lXunKJD+zdONG6eKMk= =E5M4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-MRWTHAtWUS2MgcjeFm8S-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
