Schedule change proposal

[Bill Nottingham]

Strawman proposal: move the schedule out one week.

This moves all the dates starting with the 25 Aug freeze
for test 2.

Opinions?

I would argue 2 weeks, so that we have a 3 week window between test
release and freeze; 3 weeks sounds like a minimal-yet-sane distance to
get testing done AND get fixes in the next release....

Bill & Arjan,
Do what you think is best, but keep in mind a few of us out here may be
turning blue by then. We're waiting on FC3t2 in hope it will be the
first installable post-FC1 release for our systems with Adaptec 20xxS
Zero Channel RAID cards. I've got a Tyan K7X with a 1.1T array waiting
to breathe life. (Bugzilla #123567)

Do you realize rawhide is now installable, and you can install it any
time you want?

Even when there are package dep issues in the rawhide tree?
mutter libcroco grumble nautilus.

I'm upgrading a development system now and am fighting the deps for cups 
and the following dep errors.

Unresolvable chain of dependencies:
gdm  2.6.0.3-2                           requires libcroco.so.2
gimp  2.0.3-1                            requires libcroco.so.2
gnome-games  2.6.2-1                     requires libcroco.so.2
nautilus  2.6.0-6                        requires libcroco.so.2

Please modify your package selections and try again.

I guess your timing for an installable tree was in dep hell.

Jim

I think you can still install.  It probably ain't going to work though
:-)

FWIW, the temporary instability coming from the new Gnome packages was
announced; not sure whether it was here or on fedora-devel.

Well, we are waiting on the upstream main kernel to incorporate the 
latest i2o changes, which are necessary for proper implementation of i2o 
in kudzu for anaconda to see the block devices and partitions.
