Hi all,
I have completed a new build based on 12.04.2 and it looks good so far.
http://aiolos.survey.ntua.gr/gisvm/dev/osgeo-live-debug-build10000.iso
This could be RC2 if we decide to make this extra step towards Secure Boot.
I would like to hear more opinions about our options here.
Hamish proposed another option on IRC yesterday:
4. Release RC1 as Final and do a 6.5.1 with the 12.04.2 Xubuntu base
after a month or so, when more feedback will be available.

Secure boot support would simplify things for a great deal of users on
new hardware (Windows 8 boxes ship with it on). So it's a pretty
important feature going forward. I'm on the fence as to just putting a
bug acknowledging the issue, and that currently you have to disable
secure boot (pushing the fix to 7.0) vs just re-building with the new base.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi all,
The only issue found in RC1 so far was a documentation problem (headers
were inactive in the installers section).
No software issues were reported so far and no blocker issues.
Thanks Cameron for fixing the above issue. This fix was included in
latest nightly build [1]. I tested this nightly build and everything
works as in RC1.
During the last 24h a new iso for Xubuntu 12.04.2 was released [2]
As per [3] there is Secure Boot support within the kernel included in
this version. I believe that this update might be worthy for doing an
upgrade and a RC2.
I have started a test nightly (build 9999), based on 12.04.2 iso and
this will be available soon at [4].
So our options:
1. Release RC1 as final. The doc issue is very minor in my opinion.
2. Release build 9997 as final. The doc issue is fixed but I am the only
one who tested it (I have tested UAT, VM installation and USB creation)
3. Build RC2 based on new Xubuntu iso and call this the final if
everything works as expected.
Thoughts?
Best,
Angelos

Hi,
Today we announce the first release candidate for OSGeoLive 6.5.
We are happy to report that we have no major known issues:
http://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/report/11
All applications have been tested the last few weeks, especially after
a very successful OSGeoLive hackathlon.
We now need more testers to check the installed applications before we
declare Final.
You can download the RC1 iso here:
