But we're going to release only the sources today (which still lasts 18h in Alaska) and call for packages after that. > I am just a bit worried that people put out false promises and increased > pressure on the release manager, making people believe that they can install > QGIS 2.2. Monday morning ... The release manager is blocking people from continuing their bug fixing work after having blocked them to doing their feature work already. Releasing just the sources on the release date will probably just put pressure on the packagers to get packages out asap. But there's no set date when that needs to happen. But Monday is hopefully not far off. Jürgen -- Jürgen E. Fischer norBIT GmbH Tel. +49-4931-918175-31 Dipl.-Inf.
