Well, it’s that time again… time to wind up the Qube2, and get it building a seed stage in preparation for yet another release of Gentoo. Then it’ll be a case of waiting for the official 2006.1 snapshot to be released, and the full stagebuilds will begin in earnest. I may release pre-2006.1 stageballs, we’ll [...]
