It's restricted to developers only, though, so not much useful for users. :) Yeah, I did that because we had users adding their favorite apps to the snapshot tracker, which had absolutely no place there. All in all, we have found that things seem to work best when we just hide in our little corner of IRC, shut up, and work. We use the tracker bug during the initial snapshot phase since we're reporting bugs in the tree. Once we've taken the snapshot, however, we don't use bugs since many of them are fixed in the tree, but not in our snapshot. Currently, I keep track of the release via a spreadsheet, but I've been working towards getting a project tracking software package setup and configured to replace this functionality. Of course, that tracker won't be public. It's much simpler to answer the few questions we get than it is to answer the floods of questions we *used* to get when we posted dates everywhere. The nature of the tree simply makes it impossible for us to accurately estimate a release date. This release we even went so far as to create a completely new snapshot due to there being so many changes necessary in our original one and the packages getting too stale. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

I'm not implying there's anything wrong w/ restricting the bug; just that pointing users here to it won't get them very far. ;) Currently, I keep track of the release via a spreadsheet but I've been working towards getting a project tracking software package setup and configured to replace this functionality.

I am hoping that we can eventually move it to another machine, but for the time being I just have to take the time to fill in all of the tasks. It really sucks when doing this since every single task has to be duplicated for every architecture. -- Chris Gianelloni Release Engineering Strategic Lead Alpha/AMD64/x86 Architecture Teams Games Developer/Council Member/Foundation Trustee Gentoo Foundation signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
