Just to be forward, you are not planning on publishing the binaries just yet right? I would prefer that you do not because I do not want folks to have an expectation of support yet.

* the replacement for drizzled_safe (which is currently badly broken).
Monty said something about creating an angel, but I don't know the
time frame;

My take on this, is that it should be fixed. From what Monty has told me it has blossomed in recent years in size. I am wondering if we would not have more luck with an older version or if I should just ask Yazz or someone else to build us a new one quickly.

* a script to create standard binary tarballs (I did something that
works for me and I can push it into a tree unless there are already
plans to do it in some specific way);

I might be interested in seeing this in the Makefile, though there is a strong argument that tarball binaries are the way of the dodo. I keep "make rpm" in my other projects because I find it to be useful. I am wondering if tarballs are the same.

* instructions to compile drizzle with static libraries;

This will never work. Static built binaries are dodos at this point. There have been excellent articles written on this in recent time.

* instructions to start replication with drizzle (if it is currently possible).

I think it is broken, and I believe we should fix it :)

Cheers,
