Sounds like it had better be. I'll package it and see if it can be uploaded. We're in freeze, but that sounds like a valid reason to me. I'm fighting some issues to do an RC1. Perl is slightly broken at the moment, it spews errors everytime it accesses unistd.ph. It does "do the right thing", but it's ugly. I'm trying to port the 9.1 installer now, because the locales are broken when I rebuild the 9.0 installer in the current environment. I got it to run through completion a couple of times now on my iMac, but the 7600 will probably be a challenge since the 9.0 installer consistantly locked that machine up several times before I disabled a number of the hardware probes. I'd like to release RC1 by the end of the week, but I'm also getting hit up for issues in drak tools that I thought someone else was porting to gtk2, but apparently not.
