RC4          - Packaged tonight, Announced Friday AM
Full Release - Packaged Monday Night, PR/Announce Tuesday AM

If *anyone* is sitting on something, plesae let us know ASAP ... I'm
planning on packaging up RC4 tonight around 1am GMT (around
9pm my time,
around 5pm Josh's (Pacific) time, if I recall my time zone's correctly)

As long as the APPDATA-files-on-win32 is finished off, I'm fine. Seems Tom is on that right now, so I don't doubti t will be.

Just a thought - considering it's just a weekend in between, isn't the
time between RC4 and release a little bit on the shortside? I mean, not
a lot of people will have time to test it "for real" in that time...
While there aren't any large changes, it never hurts to be on the safe
side?
(Remember - there is always a bit of a delay before packagers pick it
up. I know there is at least for the MSI package for windows, but I'm
sure there also is for RPM etc. So people running off those will have
even less time to test..)
I'm definitly not saying drag this out a long time, but perhaps two more
days or so?

I agree Magnus has a point here. We just did major changes for Win32 configuration file locations and it seems it is a mistake to not have sufficient time for testing and to see if something else comes up.

I think we should shoot for the end of next week.

I'm the last person to argue against delaying to get it right :) But, if we are going to delay to end of week, why not just make it a Sun package, Mon release, so that Josh et al can get the best bang for the PR/release announcement?
