Hubbard" Sender: owner-hackers@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Barring any last minute delays, the scheduled time for tagging the tree for 2.1.0-RELEASE will be the 9th of November, one hour (give or take a few) before midnight Pacific Standard Time. This means that people supping the CVS tree will get the usual LARGE update and CTM'ers will be similarly affected. If there are any delays in this, I will of course announce it here. I'm actually ready to tag the tree now, but am being conservative about it until I've verified that the CDROM installation really works. Since this requires the burning of an actual CD, I've been holding off on this until all the other reported problems with sysinstall were fixed. I'll also be sending a few CD one-offs to various core team members, but if you feel that you are uniquely suited to testing the CDROM installation (e.g. you have lots of different types of CD drives around or other unique environmental characteristics) then please let me know! Do bear in mind that it takes me a good hour or so to burn a one-off, nor are one-off blanks and priority shipping cheap, so please do only ask for one if you truly think you have something unique to bring to the testing process AND are genuinely willing to invest the time in testing it! I'd love to have BETA testers for the CD so that we don't have any expensive mistakes, but it's nonetheless a lot of extra work for me, hence this disclaimer. If, given all this, you still think you would be a valuable tester for a pre-release CD then please send me your shipping address and a daytime phone number. I will be shipping all such CDs Federal Express due to the compressed time schedules we're under here, so please also don't ask for one if you're not able to test it right away. Ideally, I'd like to give everyone a day or so for testing, then send the final version off for replication. Thanks! Jordan
