weekly news - 20040716

Hi!

Here's the latest weekly news edition!

=====================================================================


=^)


Vacation time! I'm outta here... well I could keep you guys up to date on 
our crunch 2.6.7 + gcc-3.4.1 + gcc-2.3.3-cvs testing... Results have been
promising of course, so there are about 4 people out there heavily patching
and compiling stuff.

A major win this week was a set of patches that allows lilo to be compiled 
against 2.6.7 kernel-headers. I guess nestu is now mad at me for making him
redo the testiso with the new lilo (sorry!). Also there are plenty of
modules left that still don't compile yet and need patching and testing.

Anyway things will continue as usual wihtout me being there... hope to see
you all back in august!

PS yes there will be a weekly next week just no editorial. The list of updates will still be sent!
