That is a very good question, and I think at this point in the game we
can start to nail down dates and time periods.
I believe this upcoming Beta will be our last beta.
Using our original guidelines I think we have put in all the features
and programs that we intended to.
Here is my ruff schedule. Please don't hold me to any of these dates,
because in the end "We'll release it when it's ready"
Beta 3 - February 11, 2011
- updated livecd-tools, liveusb-creator
- openafs-firstboot fixed
- kdemenu fixed
- report fixed.
RC 1 - February 18, 2011
- All features or programs in release.
- All bugs of previous week fixed.
- Move all references of 6rolling to 6.0
RC 2 - February 25, 2011
- All bugs of previous week fixed.
- Documentation
RC 2.5 - Sometime in the first week of March, 2011
- This is really the release, down to the documentation.
- If there is no further bugs, RC 2.5 images are declared the official
release images.
- If there is a show stopping bug, we will have a RC 2.75
Release - A day or two after RC 2.5 - Hopefully in the first week of March.
Note1: yum-cron is not in the release. I had been asked by several
people to put yum-cron in the release. And I originally intended to do
that. But then as I went back and read the emails, and none of them
agreed on the version of yum-cron. So I did not put yum-cron in the
release. But I did make yum-autoupdate easy to remove and/or configure.
So people can put in their own yum update scheme without the hassle
that was in SL5.
Note2: Several people have commented that we haven't pulled all the
RedHat references out of the release. Many are concerned about the
legality of this. We have removed all trademarks and tradedress that we
legally have to. We have also done our best to change everyday programs
that reference redhat, such as bookmarks, default browser pages, and the
web server.
But we do not get fanatical about this. We are a derivative of RedHat.
There are times that Red Hat's name is going to pop up. If it's
really obnoxious, let us know and we'll deal with it on a case by case
basis. But don't worry about the legality. We have changed all that we
legally must, and more.
Thanks
Troy
