[gentoo-releng] 2005.1 "pre-release"

So I was thinking the other day... yeah, I know... me thinking... what's
the world coming to anyway?  Back on topic... heh... So I was thinking
the other day that it would be a good idea for us to prepare a 2005.1
"pre-release" of sorts.  I was thinking that we decide on a snapshot
date, say sometime next week, then we make a snapshot and build a full
release from it.  This should help iron out any issues we will have with
the release.  This pre-release will also be something that we can allow
limited access to for user testing.

So what does everybody think?

This sounds good to me, but I will be away from the computer from May 19 till
June 1st.  Let me know what you need from me after I get back near a
computer.

Fine with me. Altough I don't know the disk-usage on nemo atm. Gotta
check back how it looks like. (I need a few G for a complete GRP-Set).

I think we could omit the installcd testing (since I am building dolphin
which basically *is* a minimal installcd).

I think the concept is pretty neat and would make the final release proceed
with a bit more dignity, a few less bugs, and lots less ohShits<TM>. What's
the date for bringing the new hardware (AMD) into commission, if it's soon,
would it be worth building the pre-release on there too? Test the new stuff?

The new hardware should be up before too long, but that doesn't help our
non-x86/amd64 release-building friends.

Basically, we wouldn't delay this just because the hardware might not be
ready, simply because the hardware isn't usable by all the releasing
architectures, and I try my best to be fair to everyone.

Ah fair enough - this is why you're the guy who decides ;) I hadn't thought
along those lines, was just thinking along AMD64/x86 paths =)

Sorry for late reply...
Good idea, I'll be back june 3rd to help with testing x86 stuff.
I'm currently out of town and have net access via free wifi only.
