[arch-dev-public] 2007.10 or 2007.11 release version?

[Tobias Powalowski]

Hi,
the question:
Will the next release number be 2007.10 or 2007.11?
i'm for 2007.11, test isos will be available next week until you find them 
stable it's probably the 1st november.

An other interesting thing, i tested the ram usage in kvm-qemu today,
results:
core/ftp arch boot image: 160MB RAM 
(x86_64 WORKS setup: all packages selected)
-> the i686 needs less RAM so it would work

core lowmem boot image: 85MB   RAM 
x86_64 (setup: all packages selected)
-> the i686 needs less RAM so it would work

core lowmem boot image: 64MB   RAM 
(quickinst: cd install i686 WORKS, only base category installed!)
(setup: cd install i686 WORKS, only base category installed!)

Failures:
(quickinst: cd install x86_64 FAILED, only base category installed!)
(setup: cd install x86_64 FAILED, only base category installed!)
x86_64 needs more memory thats normal and x86_64 have at least 256mb ram 
installed, else it would make me wonder.

i'll correct this in documentation for next release.

still pretty much but it's the pacman bug:
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/8155
~ 50MB RAM takes pacman during full package installation which causes a 
OOM_KILL
updating to libarchive 2.3.4 doesn't help either.


new initscripts and filesystem will go to testing on sunday or monday morning.
greetings
