Next full release is planned in between the 20th and the 30th of September, 2010.
Stages get automatically rebuilt starting on the 4th of each month, you should see the newer ones on the 5th at about 4.00 GMT.
NOTE: automatic stage rebuilding is suspended until a nasty bug with libxml2 gets fixed. It doesn't allow to properly build stage3 (though stage1&2 build fine) and can be worked around manually by chrooting, but I can't wait each time for the proper moment to chroot in front of the screen.
This is how I plan to support/release the medias:
- one full release every three months (stages+liveCDs)
- one build per-month up to stage3 (to include latest updates to the core features of the release)
- release dates may vary according to
- kernel development
- gcc availability in the portage tree
- Gentoo release schedules
- these "restrictions" are to avoid a lot of work in means of CPU-time spent re-doing same things over and over
- +-2 weeks from declared schedule (for the reasons above)
- If you wish to ask for some package inclusion, I'll setup soon a submission form/page from where you can request things; doing this, please do not ask to include some particular upgrade that's a key feature of the release (gcc, linux-headers, etc.), I'll try to keep every part of the release as updated as possible when it gets published
