Punky,

Are you effectively freezing the 0.2 repository, ie. no updating to the madwifi-ng package or kernel?

Thx,

Edwin

Hi all,

After the WorldCup and the completion of my part time project and studies, I now put my effort back to 0.3 development. In these few days, something will happen to voyage unstable repository and the existing voyage-current.tar.gz as I will promote the "current/unstable" to Debian etch.

1. If you are running 0.2 distro and have been pointing the /etc/apt/sources.list to unstable repository, please stop doing so. Voyage unstable repository will include the kernel and some packages built under etch, which makes the package not installable on 0.2 (because of package dependencies.) 2. voyage-current.tar.gz will be completely Debian etch based. The first upload of etch based voyage-current.tar.gz would include:
   - Trimmed etch, of course,
- ubuntu kernel 2.6.15, but will update to 2.6.17/18 before 0.3 final release.
   - CF size ~67MB, distro tarball ~27MB.
   - booted with initrd and grub
- newly written installation/updating scripts (Thanks Bill's contribution)
   - daily build
3. voyage-current.iso will be a live CD
   - casper + squashfs + unionfs
   - daily build
   - proposed as a platform for netinst and pxeinstall
   - ISO size ~32MB.

As there will be a week before I upload the first etch Voyage, there is still time to discuss my "proposal". Please give your feedback or if you feel it uncomfortable, or suggest any other alternatives.
