Hi all -
Its almost the 10th and I have collected quite an array of feature
requests, which means we have to meet and take a look at them and decide
which ones we can implement. I would like to meet Wednesday at 1800UTC
in #gentoo-releng. If there are any problems, please respond ASAP so
that we can get this setup. Thanks all :)

Cheers,
//zhen

Yo -
Since there have been no objections, I am scheduling the 2004.2 feature
meeting for Wednesday May 12 at 1800 UTC. Please find attached the
compiled list of features that I fielded from -dev, -core, and personal
e-mails. Keep in mind that this is just a raw list of collected requests
from users and developers, not a definitive list of features that is set
in stone - we are deciding what we can implement. I request that you
please save all discussion for the meeting :)

If you cannot make it to the meeting, please mail me off list and let me
know.

Cheers,
//zhen

Hi,

My comments about the candidate release features:


-2.6 based system w/ udev

Every ppc livecd kernel is 2.6 based. udev is untested. No time to test 
before release.

-better smp kernel support

The smp kernel on 2004.1/x86 is the only one that boots my virtual pc. 
No problems on PPC. Please try not to generalize problems.

-boot time dmesg saving support (save it to a file, /root/dmesg 
perhaps?)

You're not serious about "/root/dmesg", are you?

-manpages linked from the handbook (man2html?) or man in stage1

man on livecd: yes (man in stage1: no (no ufed in stage1 either)

-portage package that contains release spec files

emerge catalyst?

-DVD iso

Every user who sends me an empty DVDR gets one by regular email.

-X livecd

An experimental one is scheduled for 2004.2

-portage rewrite in C

This is without doubt the worlds worst candidate release feature 
request list I've seen.


Best regards,

Pieter Van den Abeele

Like I said, its raw, straight from the users. I did not edit it in  any
way because that is not fair. Obviously, it needs some tweaking, so
please show up at the meeting and we can do just that.
