Beta freeze/release slipping by a week

In today's releng meeting we decided to delay the freeze/release of Fedora 9 Beta by a week. This is due to a number of reasons, most clearly: Current instability of rawhide and peoples inability to do new installs Current state of X Impending perl-5.10.0 At this time the dates of the final freeze/release have not been changed. While there is more time before beta, we strongly urge people to spend this time on bugfixing and not introduction of new and unstable changes. We would really like to have some testing done before we go into the freeze period given that Beta freeze is a blocking freeze. Please use this time wisely. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- All my bits are free, are yours?
