Seneca,

Seriously why isn't an official build released yet???

<RANT>
I'm getting bloody sick and tired of the constant questions (IRC,
email directly, Google+, GTalk, and even in person) about it here
there and everywhere and the deathly radio silence from the people who
are suppose to have done it. It's a complete shambles and frankly I'm
embarrassed we still don't have a release.

Can we just call the armv5tel release stable and move onto F-18
already. If you want to do a SUPA-DUPA-FAST release concentrate on
that for F-18+ in _PARALLEL_ to the rest of the stuff. I don't see it
adding more than a few percentage points and at the current build will
be faster than nothing which is what we currently have! RELEASE EARLY
RELEASE OFTEN.

Also what is the status on support for:
- a kernel with proper naming and provides so a yum update doesn't
pull in a vexpress kernel
- an updated kernel with temp sensor support and frequency scaling
- the requirements for HW accel media playback (what libaries are
needed, are they open source and can hence be packaged in mainline
like other platforms) and does it work on Fedora?
- probably other things.

I am _REALLY_ sorry about the rant but AFAICT having been away on
holidays for two weeks there doesn't appear to be _ANY_ movement in
the forwards direction at all.

Can we PLEASE have a weekly update to this mailing list for all to see
as to the exact state of every component in the RPi image (with items
crossed off so we know what's done and what's left).

</RANT>

I look forward to a release :)

Peter

I heard that there won't be an official Fedora build of the Raspberry Pi remix because the firmware license is not compatible with the Fedora firmware guidelines.
