Half a year ago the ppc-team was in quite the same situation. Small development-team, a lot of bugs, many small annoying mistakes in the documentation etc. pp. The whole team did a hard work, so that we know can handle a lot of our bugs in a short time, roll up our old ones, and we are already in progress for the 2004.3 release (this time ppc will become a member of the release-game :-) ). If things go on like now, it should be possible that the ppc team could offer some time and CPU-power for a hardened release on that platform. Keep cool and don't hesitate. Even Rome has not been built on one day... Regards, Lars PS: I wish that hardened-gentoo would not 'die'. It's a really nice experiment for securing a Linux. --fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFBTgVRUyqC+0dcR0wRAmmdAKDtA0NatfB+cvI1QpfGN7nLC4c6xwCfX/Nw PgI9T6sMMJKCLQ2XZG9dbRI= =fFgo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --fdj2RfSjLxBAspz7--
