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 Active threads last week: ========================= Announcing GLI ("the installer") 0.5 dev-db/firebird needs an active maintainer Eigen and GPL-2 exception - is a new licence required?
