Alpha bits are almost up. Sparc64 bit will likely go up tonight, though there are no sparc64 packages or a sparc64 disc1 yet. These might very well not be ready for Monday. Oh well. It looks like the chmod trick is working well. I apologize to the second-tier mirrors that cannot access the bits yet. If we keep this model, you'll have to work out arrangements with the first tier mirrors for special access. IMPORTANT: The official 5.1 announcement and press release will go out at 1000EDT (1400GMT). I'd like to unmask the release bits about an hour before the announcement, which would be 1300GMT 9-June-2003. Please set your at(1) jobs accordingly! Thanks a lot!
