Preview Release (aka PR) Status

 * Not ready--scheduled for availability on 2008-04-11
 * Problems with yum and other compose tools
 * Snafu with package signing which caused rawhide to revert back to all unsigned copies of most packages--100G worth of churn
 * Spend rest of today untangling rawhide situation
 * Attempt Preview Release on 2008-04-15 with no change to GA date of 2008-04-29

Mass Branching

 * Toshio says that the tools (pkgdb, etc..) are ready for the mass branching.
 * Should probably have a CVS outage to get the branching done--usually takes a full work day
 * Discusison left unfinished

What is the Preview Release?
1. Poelcat to take a shot at documenting purpose and criteria for snapshots and test releases 1. Preview Release will be as installable and functional as other test releases (Alpha and Beta)
 * Just another snapshot or equivalent to Alpha and Beta which requires more formal testing before release?
 * Discussion about confusion over what preview release is
 * Need clearer definition for what Preview Release and Release Candidate mean
 * DECISIONS:
