Re: [gentoo-dev] GLI Officially Deprecated
Preston Cody wrote: A few months ago the Gentoo Release engineering team changed the way that releases are done to simplfy, automate, and provide more current release media on a more regular basis. One of the consequences of this is that the livecds are no-longer being released. This leaves the installer with no place or function any longer. The installer developers have all moved on to other projects, leaving GLI in an unmaintained state. We can no-longer offer support for the 2008.0-r1 LiveCDs for x86 and amd64, though we expect it to work for those that use it. During this project's five year existence, it has been both a pride for Gentoo and a source of controversy. The Gentoo Handbook is still the official installation method for Gentoo.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I realize it might be a bit obvious to us, but from reading it people might wonder how they're supposed to carry out installs now. When the notice finally goes out, it might be worth mentioning that just the LiveCDs are no longer supported, and mention how often the install media is produced, and basically how people should go about doing installs these days. It's so easy to misread these things and for people to start pushing out blogs and articles saying Gentoo's stopped producing release media, etc, etc...

While the cvs log will likely just want to explain what change was made, the ChangeLog should explain why it was made. So if you want to know both, you need to look in 2 places? That doesn't seem very nice to me. Also in a distributed VCS, we'd want to generate ChangeLogs from the commit logs to avoid all kinds of annoying conflict resolution and remove redundant information. PS. I know about index2.xml - but that doesn't look like it's going to be the main front page any time soon at the moment, which is a real shame because it has some awesome changes. I need to write up an announcement for the changes, then Xavier will flip the switch. Think days not weeks. -- Thanks, Donnie Donnie Berkholz Developer, Gentoo Linux Blog: http://dberkholz.wordpress.com pgpEDwTiHQbg4.pgp Description: PGP signature
