The proposed RC-0 for Hadoop 1.2.1 has been tagged<http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/hadoop/common/tags/release-1.2.1-rc0/>, and performs satisfactorily wrt Unit Tests. However, my build environment has been bolluxed up by changes in hardware, and I am still having problems building the native-build portions of the release. Consequently I cannot yet post rpms and tarballs. Giri is helping me fix this.
I ask for your patience while we get over this hump. Thanks, --Matt
