[RFC] Packages that looks ready for uploading
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hello folks,
I've been finally able to take a more careful look at our repository and
make up a list of packages that I believe we ought to upload.
Please, if you're one of responsable by the package and you agree with
me please go ahead and upload it or comment why you believe it is not
ready.

I think we ought to do a full upload cycle. That will give us the
required feedback of what the real state of the installer and also give
to translators a good feeling of what is the real state of installer in
their language.
I believe we'll end up finding some bugs and will have few days of an
unstable installer but I think this early in cycle it is not a really
bad thing since it will allow us to really get those things deplyed and
receive feedback from users.
Even tough the minor changes and translation-only uploads aren't
/required/ now, I'd like to do those after the first set of packages has
been uploaded so we could do an installer upload and really start the
Alpha1 release preparation.
A very important thing is that porters need to upload their kernel
packages so we really have full installer using latest kernel and
discover problems on it as soon as possible.
Any comments? Objections?
Cheers,
