Ok. The build has now been declared restarted, and I am deleting all
of the submitted binaries. (well, just moving them really) I will
wait for Martin to submit a patch for the list RTF export bug before
we begin building again. Can you have this done soon, Martin?
We will be ready to release when the following happen:
1) We have builds for
Linux/x86
FreeBSD/x86
Win32
BeOS/x86
QNX/x86
BeOS/PPC
Linux/PPC
Gnome/Linux/x86
Note that I have access personally to all but the win and qnx systems
listed there. Hopefully we will get as many builds as we did this
time, but I am unlikely to wait.
2) We have a place to download from. This is waiting on SourceGear.
3) We have release notes. Dom and Thomas have dome some work in this
area already.
Hopefully this will go quickly.
I'm sorry about the delay, but losing user data is *not* acceptable.
Thanks for your patience.
