Well, as I see it there are two major issues, one of which is my
responsibility.
First, we are waiting on an upstream release of 2.0.7 glibc (any day now)
which will, hopefully fix several package problems.
Second, the major need for a release is to have a functioning set of
installation disks. As several of the crucial packages were converted to
slang "at the last minute" they have taken some time to stabalize out. It
appears that the most recent disk set is well on the way to being release
ready.
Once these two criterion have been met we only need to determine which
bugs stand in the way of a release and fix them...sounds too simple ;-)
Waiting is,
Dwarf
