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. > -----Original Message----- > From: Chris Gianelloni [mailto:wolf31o2@gentoo.org] > Sent: 16 May 2005 14:47 > To: gentoo-releng@lists.gentoo.org > Subject: [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?
