The expected column for everything that follows still lists dates in Oct/Nov timeframe. I think this is what Brett is asking about: and update on the expected timeframe. The bits for 6.2-RC2 are making their way to the FTP mirrors now (if they're not there already). I think it should be possible to announce 6.2-RC2 today. The current, tentative plan is to start building 6.2-RELEASE about a week and a half after the 6.2-RC2 announce date (again, that might be today), and then announce 6.2-RELEASE a few days later. This assumes that there aren't any (more) last-minute problems. The situation has been fairly fluid over the last month or so, due to various problems that keep showing up at inconvenient times...everything from last-minute bugs to ftp-master's RAID blowing up. I admit we haven't been real communicative about the status of the release. :-p Bruce. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

The fact that ftp-master suffered a hardware failure that required a replacement machine be brought online did not really help.
