[gentoo-releng] My personal "in-progress" spec files and expectations for 2005.1

For those of you that do not know, my personal spec files are available
on toucan at /home/wolf31o2/stuff/livecd and should cover everything you
will need.  They also make good references for any problems you guys
might be having with your pre-release building.

Some things we *really* want to see on all releases that are capable:

If you use "normal" keymaps like x86 does, make sure to add
livecd/bootargs: dokeymap to your livecd-stage2 spec files.

There should be *NO* livecd/overlay: on your minimal CD, as we aren't
putting docs on them.  Your universal CD should have the normal
directories on it.  Please be sure to rename your handbook-$arch to just
handbook before rolling your final ISO.  Everybody should check their
docs, but you knew this.  Remember to check your networkless installs,
too.

Everybody that has support for it, should have "--evms2 --lvm2 --dmraid"
on all of their kernels that support it, preferably globally.  None of
these volume managers start automatically, so a user must use "do*" on
them to get them to start.

There is a new README.txt that is being put on the CD.  I plan on
rolling at least one more catalyst point release, so if you have
something that you want added/removed from this README.txt, please let
me know so we can get it changed.  I am looking for this file to be
mostly generic, but I would also like to list things for all of our
architectures.

That is all for now... =]

Tested for ppc at 2005.0-time.  They keymaps were totally
scrambled, although we usually use x86-keys.  I'll try again
for this release.

There is currently a bug open for a non-working --dmraid on
ppc.  That's another thing I have to test.

OK.  Unless you have some PPC-friendly keymaps.  I don't think the ones
in genkernel have been updated in quite some time.
