Open mouth, insert foot... That was a totally ignorant response on my part. My apologies to Bruce, Matt, and all previous release managers and support staff. Yet again, I've spoken before thinking. What I should have said is "From an editor's POV, it's almost done." I have absolutely no idea how much work goes into updating the website, writing a release announcement, setting up source and patch directories, subversion tags, mirroring, and all the other fine details that I'm sure I've missed. I suspect it is difficult (to say the least) to get all of that work done and not miss anything. Just the number of tasks alone...jeez. Again, I am very sorry for my short sighted response, and very much appreciate the hard work from our release managers/coordinators. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
