Hi, this is the -dev weekly summary, actually the first one ;)

Announcements / Important stuff
===============================

Announcing GLI ("the installer") 0.5 (by agaffney)
--------------------------------------------------
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.installer/594
--------------------------------------------------
The Gentoo Linux Installer team would like to announce version 0.5[.4]
(we've found a few bugs since the initial 0.5 release) of the installer.
This release, which is available on the 2007.0 x86 and amd64
LiveCD/DVDs, has a lot of changes from the previous one (so many that it
really should have been a new major version, but we haven't even reached
1.0 yet, so it's a bit hard to jump to 2.0).

Release BitTorrent seeding (by robbat2)
---------------------------------------
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.devel/48936
---------------------------------------
Could the ~80 people that are still seeding the 2006.1 release on
BitTorrent please move to seeding the 2007.0 release instead?
The 6 torrents below are the most popular (in order), and account for
98% of the BitTorrent traffic since the 2007.0 release yesterday.
1. livedvd-i686-installer-2007.0
2. livecd-i686-installer-2007.0
3. livedvd-amd64-installer-2007.0
4. livecd-amd64-installer-2007.0
5. install-x86-minimal-2007.0-r1
6. install-amd64-minimal-2007.0
I will be retiring the 2006.1 torrents on June 1st, until then, they are
available at http://torrents.gentoo.org/?category=2006.1

Do we have to add a new license for base license + exception or use base
license plus exception?

[RFC] missing <herd> tag in metadata.xml
<herd>no-herd</herd> in some cases but not everywhere

Optional Package Dependencies for netscape-flash -> libflashsupport

Probably this should be:
dev-tex/preview-latex

 Right.  Whoever added that to dev-tex should be stoned to death.
Corrected in p.mask, too.
