The bulk of the Core/Extras merge has now been finished, and the Release Engineering team has been working hard to get things back in shape for the final F7 release. However, due to the massive nature of this undertaking, we are not coming back online as fast as we had hoped. We do not have a rawhide repository available as of yet, and the release and QA teams are not comfortable going into deep freeze at this point. During the Release team meeting yesterday, it was decided to slip the deep freeze date by a week at least. This will also slip the final release of Fedora 7 by at least a week. Slipping a week will allow more time for the merge tree to materialize and stabilize. Maintainers will also have more time to adjust to the new processes involved as a result of the merge. We will also have more time to evaluate the blocking bugs that are currently open in Bugzilla. While this slip is unfortunate, it is also in the best interest for the quality of the release. Please bear with us as we strive to make this the best release of Fedora to date! josh -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
