[gentoo-releng] Release Engineering Status Update

In response to Patrick's request for status updates, I'm posting the
current Release Engineering status.

Release Engineering is well into doing QA and testing for 2005.1 on x86,
amd64, ppc, ppc64, ia64, and alpha.  We are currently testing a new
version of livecd-tools, catalyst, and genkernel, all of which are
masked in the tree.  We have been on a massive bug-squashing session to
try to solve any problems before we start building the final release.

Once we work out the few blocking issues we are reaching now, such as
the perl->ssl issue Robin was talking about, then we will build a "beta"
release for 2005.1, which we will start selecting groups of users,
mostly people who filed bugs against 2005.0, to help us with testing,
specifically on platforms or hardware which we do not possess ourselves.

Just curious, as I'm (obviously) out of the loop, is there any plan to
integrate external kernel modules onto the liveCD (ie. madwifi, etc)?

We've only been doing that for a few releases now.

If it is marked stable in the tree, then yes.  Otherwise, we won't touch
it.

I forgot to mention that sparc is also doing their QA.
