I guess I can do it again. Most of the stuff is mechanical. We'd need to decide on a package freeze. Right now there are a total of 16 open tickets, but only 5 are assigned to 6.3. Of these, the iproute ticket could either be moved to future or we could send a message to the devs and ask them to repackage the app. I haven't looked into the others in any detail. Just as a comparison, there were a total of 126 tickets worked for 6.2 and there are a total of 157 (5 open) for 6.3. What do you want for a target release date? I would think we could get a -rc1 out in a week if we don't make any changes to the tool chain. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
