We are working out the kinks and working out how we are going to distribute, etc. We need to make sure we get it right, so we are not rushing the process. As to when it will be done ... that will be when it's done :P (it could be a week, it could be longer ... we are doing many new things with CentOS 5 like Virtual machine installs, Clustering, etc. ... lots of new things to work out ... then there is the issue of artwork,etc.) But, believe me, there is major effort by many people to get this done, including a centralized build system, etc. Remember, it took 4 months to get the first C3 release out and 3 months to get the first c4 beta out after the el4 beta2 was released. But, you will get a "CentOS" quality product when we release it, beta or not. Thanks, Johnny Hughes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Is there a howto about contributing artwork? I didn't know if there was a wiki page set up to where people could upload their artwork. It would be neat if the page listed every file that needed a new look with dimensions and file formats required. I have several art guys on Macs that could contribute if it was easy for them to upload - you know those Mac people!! Once all the files are uploaded, then rpm packages could be "freshened" somehow with the winning set of artwork. -eric wood ----- Original Message ----- From: "Johnny Hughes"> ... then there is the issue of artwork

Every effort will be made to make CentOS-5 final be able to be an
upgrade target of CentOS-5 beta.
There may be some small individual issues (ie, a package is include as a
test in the Beta, but upstream provider rolls back to an older package
for release ... this has happened a couple times already in the past).
For those kinds of issues, if you upgrade from Beta to Final, you will
have to manually revert the older packages back ...
We are obviously tied to the released Source Code, so there could be
other issues, but it is one of our goals that the beta can be upgraded
to the final.
(My main workstation is an upgraded CentOS-4.0 beta 1 all the way up at
each release to now CentOS-4.4 :P)
Upgrades from CentOS-3 or 4 to CentOS-5 might be much harder ... and
would most probably not be recommended, but possible.
Thanks,
