Hi all,
yes, I know, it's been some time since the last T2 binary release. First
the university mirror shuffling out T2 binaries at TB scale was to be
removed, and then we just kept being very, very, ueber busy. I even got
married in the meantime:

:-)
Another good thing is, T2 progress always was rock solid, as our
impressive commit graph does show:

ChangeLog:
http://svn.exactcode.de/ChangeLog-t2
I now started seeding 8.0-rc ISOs for i486, x86-64, ppc, and ppc64. They
should show up on mirrors, soon.
The sparc64 result has hickups with SILO being not properly loaded by
the OpenFirmware, that's being under review. The sparc64 iso fill follow
as soon as this ahs been fixed (oh, and the ppc32 ISO is not yet tested,
will do on my home Apple Cube tonight, but I do not expect much troube).
On a side note: the minimal builds have slightly changed. They are now
*all-cross-built*. Thanks to the most advanced cross compile support out
there that T2 does offer. This is mostly to avoid waiting a week for my
last, aging UltraSPARC @360MHz to build thru it, ... and delaying
releases anymore.
Another side note: we're going to only release minimal binary builds in
the future for multiple reasons: one is that most people only need parts
of the X.org, KDE, GNOME etc. bits, and so everyone can build the rest
and save traffic, another is to cut on release cycles: we'll be going to
have minimal ISO builds on a regular, dependable basis, just like (for
example) OpenBSD.
Have fun and a good weekend,
Yours (truly),
René
