For this week: Essentially, there is no update. I'm scrambling toward my third busy weekend in a row this weekend, and so I'm unlikely to get things merged until next week. That said, I will do 1.4.1 early next week, and look toward merging features for 1.5.0 by 10/20. After 10/20, it will be testing and bugfixes until we're ready for release (1 or 2 weeks). In spite of the busy weekends, I have made some substantial headway on repoman. Not ready for public consumption yet, but getting there. I hope to kick an initial implementation out the door next week for comment and tinkering; it will be far from even alpha at that point, but the framework will be in place and we'll be ready for the serious work to begin. - P
