Hi, since the iso for alpha 1 is soon to be released, we have also placed the rpms on the mirrors now everything is ready to be released.
For the moment of course, not everything is finished, we are still working on various parts : - list of mirror should be ready soon ( nanar is on it, updating mga::mirrors, and tmb is updating urpmi to take the new mirror list in account, so this should be ready once I finished this mail ) - update of package on the mirror is not automatic ( pterjan was working on it, we didn't enable as we wanted to avoid broken hdlists being propagated ) - there is likely lots of issues when upgrading from cooker, be it pre rpm5 or not ( some fearless testers who were hitting f5 to refresh the page just started to upgrade before announce and reported various problems like missing deps and rpms, we know ). Do not hesitate to report here the biggest ones. We know that no all rpm have been imported, so there will be problem. - there is no boot.iso or anything yet, as ennael is still working on the latest fix for the iso ready for tomorow. - the artwork is either very nice ( the part that the art-team was able to produce, kudos for them ) or less nice ( the part were packagers discovered that kpaint is like ms paint ). So do not judge the graphical apparence yet, as this is not the definite design. This is a alpha 1, do not forget :) But despites all of this, people should be able to start to install chroot, and test upgrade ( remember, that's a work in progress of another work in progress ). The rest of the infrastructure will come later ( changelog ml, maintainers db, etc ), and the bugzilla is almost ready to be used ( bug team just want last final touch on it before announcing it to be ready, so this will wait tomorow ) -- Michael Scherer
