Hi all,
Any estimation when the next arch release will be?  Or will it be
announced on this mailing list a few days before? that would be good
enough too.

The reason I'm asking is AIF has again undergone many changes.  I could
start working now on a usable, reasonably stable alpha release without
lvm/dm_crypt support,
or if there's more time I can try to stabilize those features as well.

Like Aaron said, it would be nice to have aif as an alternative,
experimental installer on the installcd, I would like to synchronize my
schedule a bit with the next release.
        

phrakture wanted to do some work on the ISO scripts, I guess we release
after that. The problem with AIF is that we need to get people to
actually test it before we release!

If we offer it as an alternative to the old installer and say it's
experimental, it'd be no problem, but we probably won't get many testers.


      

Would be nice anyway to get it on the installer ISO. IMHO there will be
even less testers if they'd have to muck about just to get ahold of it.
Adding it as an alternative atleast gives you some sort of testing (even
thou most probably won't report bugs or "features").
    

Right, that's what I was thinking - put it on there anyway because
it's just about the only way to get people to test it. I doubt people
will make vmware images just to test another installer.

  

Actually, that's the main thing i use virtual machines for...
