Perl-base is bug-riddled. Modconf is bug-riddled. The latter in particular is totally unaccceptable (i.e., broken) and we can't release in it's current state. Please please please somebody work on it. I know this isn't the QA list, but on behalf of the boot-floppies team, I ask (a) that base stabilize and not keep changing (util-linux just recently was changed to use ncurses rather than slang, and that totally fsck's us up), and (b) that bug-fixing efforts focus on base. Likewise, we don't yet for all architecture have the kernels we need in unstable. I think alpha kernels were uploaded recently, thank god. However, there still need to be a couple of i386 kernels (ide patch, possible one for laptops, maybe others). Boot-floppies is moving along, but probably won't be in really good shape until Jan 1. Which is not the delaying factor, really, given the bugginess of base at this time. -- .....Adam Di [EMAIL PROTECTED]<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
