Tim, I have built QGIS 1.8.0 on Slackware 13.37 and plan to offer that package at http://qgis.gotslack.org pending successful testing.

The branch can be checked out like this (as a tracking branch) git clone git://github.com/qgis/Quantum-GIS.git git branch --track release-1_8 origin/release-1_8 git checkout release-1_8 Or (to check out the tag made immediately before branching) git fetch git checkout final-1_8_0 Source tarballs can be obtained from here: http://qgis.org/downloads/qgis-1.8.0.tar.bz2 http://qgis.org/downloads/qgis-1.8.0.tar.bz2.md5 Some notes: - Please do not commit anything to the release branch except packaging related tweaks - we will be focussing our efforts on master towards an upcoming 2.0 release. There are no 1.8.x point releases planned except in the case of highly critical bugfixes being needed. - If you make a package please be so kind as to update the download wiki page at http://www.qgis.org/wiki/Download with the details of your package. - If you are able to make packages for unlisted platforms / distros please discuss your plans on this thread so that we can avoid duplication of effort. - I would like to make the release announcement next week, so it will be great to have as many packages as possible ready by then. - git master is open again for general commits - please seek guidance from Marco Hugentobler (PSC Code Manager) if you are planning any major code changes. - Please accompany any updates to core with unit tests! Many thanks to all the developers, testers, bug fixers, bug reporters, document writers, translators and users that help to make QGIS a reality! Lastly can I call on the release team (or any interested people) to help to put together visual changelog (link below), press announcements etc. ready for the release date? I will send you an email when the packages are ready and you can start broadcasting announcements.
