Dear users, The HEAD code freeze was extended by three days to allow for some final pending work to be committed and prepare 5.1 to be a good release. The code freeze will likely end sometime tomorrow, May 30. We ask that large scale changes still be deferred until after 5.1 is actually released so that any problems can be dealt with. The release engineering team will send out emails explicitely stating when HEAD has thawed and when large changes like new compilers and dynamic-linked worlds can go it. The most important changes I'm going to commit today: - Remove gcc and replace it with a new TenDRA snapshot. - Remove GNU tar. - Fix httpd.ko to make it work on buggy AMD processors. - Drop support for 386 and 486 cpus. - Remove ext2 support (GPL encumbered). - Add perl 5.8 *and* python 2.2 to base. - Remove Sendmail and replace it with Postfix. If anyone has any reason why these should not be committed, I'll give a 5 hours grace time. Send replies to the list. Thank you. Thorsten and the rest or the release engineering team. __________________________________________________ Yahoo!
