Hi there,
I've tried to contact Per for some time, with no success, so it seems to me that we should put out a 2.2 on our own. I'd like to propose the following to go into 2.2:
- udev enabled kernel/init scripts - ports tree using rsync by default - glibc 2.3.6 - xorg 6.9
Sounds good to me.
- gcc 4.0.2 ? - bash 3.1 ??
Some notes: - gcc4 will require some patches, however, danm's 64-bit iso has some of them and is using gcc4 - setup can't handle xorg 7.0 just yet - bash 3.1 has serious bugs, and can easily be updated later
I can do a test run on current contrib ports to see how many fail when compiled with gcc 4.0.2. I'm okay with either bash 3.0 or a patched 3.1, but I recommend we stick with X.org 6.9 for now--it's essentially the same code base anyway.
My proposal is to do a -pre1 release by the end of january, for devs only, and then release -testX throughout february, and if needed in march too. Release when it's done :-).
I agree.
There's one important question we have to answer: do we want to move x11/firefox/gtk back to opt? As mentioned in the previous thread about this, I'd prefer to move them back, and so is Simone.
Yes, I think we better keep core to the BASICS (which in my opinion is a text-only environment suitable for setting up gateways etc. and extending for other purposes). Regards, Jukka
