I'd like to start the builds at 1800PST today. John has a couple of sysinstall fixes that he is considering putting in, and Warner should have the final devd checkin done by then. The devfs item is going to have to be postponed until after 5.0R. I'm still working on the mly driver bug, and if/when I get a fix we can consider whether or not to put it into 5.0R. Soeren submitted a rather vague MFC request for the ata driver, but hasn't reponded to my queries to be more specific. It's probably ok to go ahead without waiting for him. I can do the i386 and alpha builds. John mentioned doing the sparc64 builds a few days ago, and David O'brien has also volunteered to help with them. I'm ambivolent about who does them, though I know that I had a big learned curve with them the last time around. I also assume that our pc98 and ia64 gurus will step in for those builds. Unless Kris says differently, I imagine that ftp-master contains the 'official' package build for i386, alpha, and sparc64? Please let me know of any concerns/comments.
