I am clearly against releasing this Saturday. We should wait for 2.6.23 with the next release, as it is going to be there really soon. My guess is we could release 2007.10 with Linux 2.6.23 on October 13th or 20th.
Releasing now and then again two weeks later will only confuse people. Mmm let me see people complain everywhere that ftp is not working atm. Old isos have all itches and bugs, which people also complain about.
i don't see a reason to delay it, i want a stable installation iso with .22 kernel. Then we have enough time for fixing issues in .23 and release a new one at the beginning of november with a new release name. I would be really happy if someone of the dev crew would test the ISOs, yet only Romashka and Ise did a short run on iso -0.1, the rest was done by forum people. I tested ftp and hd installation with all filesystems, setup and quickinst. intel wireless was reported working by one on forum, other wireless stuff is untested but should work because no bug report about it is found on bugtracker.
About new Codename, pretty late the isos are created and so are the messages created. The descission last time was a new codename on new major kernel version, so this would be .23 not .22.
That are my thoughts about it, let's vote about releasing it. +1 from me
I was not aware the most current installer had debilitating issues. Based on the ensuing conversation, I am +1 for the release now. Especially if releasing stable .22 now will keep us from rushing the .23 release out. - P
