Hi all: I would like to throw out some comments regarding development and the next release.
Typically we have a release at SC, so the question is -- is this still the plan? Giving SC07 is just around the corner in November, we have less than 2 months of development time. Will trunk be stabilized soon enough that will give us enough development/testing time? So if stabilizing trunk in that time frame is not possible, then releasing 5.1 at SC is out of the question. In that case should we backport some distribution support from trunk -> branch-5-0 and release that as 5.0.1 at SC07? Distribution addition in trunk includes Fedora Core 6, Fedora 7, YDL 5.0 (?), SLES 10 (?). I would imagine Debian support is too massive to backport -- correct me if I'm wrong. Over the weekend I checked out branch-5-0 and added support for openSUSE 10.2, I plan to check that in somewhere once I get confirmation that it "works" by a user. My $0.02.
