Again: i wan't 2009.01 released latest this friday. Do you (or the Devs) see anything against this?
Btw: the new kenerl is already in core; but yes, we should ask all devs to stop psuhing new things to core until the iso is ready.
From my experience I would suggest the following:
* prepare an announcment/changelog * build and test the isos * Upload them till tomorrow * create torrents (I could do that) * Announce on friday (but make sure the isos are available on a majority of our mirrors)
I'm building the i686 ISOs right now. I will upload to gerolde in my home dir and give them to the private dev list for a quick beta test. When those are done, I will build the x86_64 versions
Aaron, would you make the announce of the Release Engineering Group and the current status? So that users see: we are working, the next iso release is near. We could also say: only stopper ATM is FS#12867 (USB). But AFAIK that bug must be not a total stopper for the ISOs, installation and rescue/maintenance should be possible. Also we could apply your mkinitcpio patch preventive. (This is a bug in [core] and will affect to users only after installation, but IMHO it don't belong to iso/installation process. We could place a hint in ISO announce that **after** the installation new users maybe could run in this bug - as our "old users" do...) Gerhard
