Hello, We have released the second Release Candidate of Scientific Linux 6. We are now in a feature freeze, and are only fixing bugs. The release is at http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/ DVD and Net Install downloads are at http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/i386/iso/ http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6rolling/x86_64/iso/ ***CHANGED SINCE Beta 3*** sl-release Repos were changed to point to 6.0 Mirrorlist was put in the config files, but there currently aren't any mirrorlist files. sl-revisor-configs Kickstarts updated. There is now minimal, small, all-groups, match-tuv, and everything. scripts added for customizing product.img and install.img cleanup of configuration files. removed java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin This was removed to prevent confusion since it was removed by TUV in java-1.6.0-openjdk updates. According to the bugzilla entry https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=653573 they expect it to be in 6 Update 1. mirrorlists are now available. Installation Documentation http://www.scientificlinux.org/distributions/6x/installing/ TUV documents published according to their guidelines. http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/documents/tuv/6/ ***KNOWN ISSUES*** If you are on a x86_64 machine, install the adobe repo, and install flash-plugin and/or AdobeReader_enu, you will get AdobeReader_<random language> in addition to what you asked for. You will also get many i686 packages installed for dependancies. If you do an install using the Everything DVD's, you cannot select external repo's at the point where you can select external repo's. ***UPCOMING ROADMAP*** This is the proposed roadmap. These dates can always slip. We will not release until we are ready. 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. Thanks to everyone who has tested and helped thus far. The Scientific Linux Development Team
