Now 184 tickets targeted for 6.4. This is huge. I don't think we've ever had 184 total tickets before, much less that many slated to be fixed for a release. March 31st is approximately 90 days from now. That's two tickets per day. And that is pushing it right to the cutoff, without any peer review. With so many package updates, I think we need *at least* 60 days cooking time to iron out possible bugs after we announce package freeze. However, if we were to somehow fix all 184 tickets (which includes one global ticket for GNOME which in itself is 100 or more packages) and have a release candidate available in March, we'd probably have the most modern distro available. Not that a bleeding-edge distro is good, it just means we'd be guinea pigs for the Linux distro community. -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.23] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 23:59:00 up 1 day, 7:19, 1 user, load average: 0.64, 0.31, 0.11 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
