Progress of Rock 3.0

 

Rock 3.0 is making some progress with regard to package selection and

usability, but still some big things preventing a freeze are still missing.

Check out cliffords roadmap at:

svn.clifford.at/wiki/todos-for-3.0.txt

and pick up a position from the "must-have" todos.

 

Some other things that haven't seen the light of the mailinglists are the

fixed dependency generation, several long-time patches have been applied

(the top position now being held by subversion) and finally hitting

error-free builds (well, all packages build, runtime-errors

notwithstanding).

 

Progress of Rock 2.0

 

Tobias really has a hard time merging all those patches that go into trunk

back into the stable tree. What's desperately needed is that package

maintainers sit down a few minutes and merge the updates of their packages

back into the stable tree.

Take a few minutes to get accustomed to the misc/archive/compare.sh script

and help Tobias to get a new 2.0 release out soon!
