So now we are to: 1.) read -stable to know when items are fixed, 2.) read -announce to know when "offical" releases happen, 3.) Check the website frequently 4.) and copy the schedule (which historically changes at the drop of a hat) to our planners AND keep checking it for changes... I run -Release on my servers & am building a box to track -stable. I read -stable and -announce (as stated as "you should" in the handbook) to know what's working & what's not. And even with all this, I was surprised by the code-freeze. So, if you are interested in getting a PR done but can't do the work/commit yourself, how should you check on it? Somehow, I don't think e-mailing the lists/committers weekly will lead to success... John ---------------------------------------------------------------------- John T.
