Re: [Maxlinux-devel] [RFC] New development process

While we're at it, the first Gestation archive is up now and=20
ready for grabbing.  It's just i486 right now (alpha will come=20
soon), and it's located at=20
ftp://skarpsey.dyndns.org/pub/gestation/i486/ .  It only=20
contains about 65-70% of the packages present prior to the=20
Gestation shift.

The Gestation documents have been updated as well; they now=20
describe the planned layout of the Gestation archive and how to=20
seed and build a Gestation snapshot.  The new instructions=20
_should_ be enough to get users started with Gestation; the only=20
known inconsistencies right now are references to a=20
ge...@in... mailing list, and references to a=20
Gestation archive on ftp.inceptionos.org.  Obviously neither one=20
of the two can become reality until Terry's back from vacation.=20
;)

Anyone who wants to grab the Gestation archive is welcome to do=20
so.  For the purposes of bandwidth conservation (go easy on my=20
connection, and on your time), it's advised that anyone=20
downloading the archive refrain from downloading the "srpms"=20
directory.  A properly seeded Gestation environment will grab=20
source RPMs automatically as it needs them.
