(Pardon if this looks weird, Thunderbird is doing all kinds of weird things to this E-mail) Vapier in particular has backported some changes into the 2.0.54 tree with I assume hopes to make a 2.0.55 release. The 2.1 release is a large change over the 2.0 series, I'd like to give people a bit more time on 2.0. For a while this may mean 2.0 and 2.1 stable at the same time, although there is no harm in that either. We haven't had a new 2.0 release in a while, and there are features worth backporting IMHO. Remember that while most of the development community runs portage-2.1 many of the users do not; and they have not seen a 2.0 release in some time. I think we can stable 2.0.55 faster than 2.1, as 2.1 will probably need a series of _rc releases before being considered stable. -Alec Warner (antarus) -- [email protected] mailing list
