Agreed. ppc and ppc64 will have separate livecds for this release. > ppc32 is missing a 2005.1-profile! This is urgent and must > be done soon, so that I can test it.

The multilib targets are still a bit too fresh in my opinion to be considering making something as popular as the G5 stages multilib only, chances are that there will be both 32 and 64-bit userland releases. Multilib stuff is probably going to be bit-torrent only, or maybe just a stage1 that users can build off of. There are a lot of choices out there and I'm trying to be conscious of our mirror space. Regarding ppc32 I see the following as a good target: Generic ppc32 stage1 Generic ppc32 stage2 G4 stage2 Generic ppc32 stage3 G4 stage3 Pegasos stage3 This leaves users the ability to create a G3 optimized system off of the Generic stage{1,2}.=20 Thanks, --Dan --=-+2viYrY7U2a4sqmNrwTn Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBCy3gLsb0gXCN8LgURAsclAJ4j2KpxjW4ix9s4kxyDDsSMYdFBWwCcCxBI N7z3sQ2s4XDFkBdjLQWnuMo= =krfg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-+2viYrY7U2a4sqmNrwTn-- -- gentoo-releng@gentoo.org mailing list
