Meeting notes, 7/14/98

daemon@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (Greg Hudson)
Tue Jul 14 13:27:19 1998

Date: Tue, 14 Jul 1998 13:27:13 -0400
From: Greg Hudson <ghudson@MIT.EDU>
To: release-team@MIT.EDU

Attending: wdc, ghudson, danw, rbasch, ajfox, othomas, aurora

	* Heather brought in a draft of the user release notes.  We
	  found some typos and formatting errors, and suggested a
	  couple of additional items (power saving, IRIX compiler
	  upgrade).

	* The O2s in 4-035 have been hanging.  We put ten of them in
	  early so that they will take 8.2, which we believe will fix
	  the problem (due to an ethernet driver patch included in
	  the 8.2 release).  As soon as we determine that those ten
	  machines have stopped hanging, we'll put the rest of the
	  cluster into early.  We are not going to patch 8.1, though,
	  since we're so close to the public release of 8.2.

	* 8.2 is still scheduled to go public at the end of this
	  month.  8.2.7 went out to the Athena cell yesterday; the
	  sshd XAUTHORITY fix accidentally didn't make it in.  8.2.8
	  will go out to the Athena cell in about two weeks (right
	  about the time of the public release) to fix another round
	  of bugs.

	* We believe that mkserv knfs works on 8.2 now.

	* The system release notes should talk about ksu changes.

	* Bill wants the release to have a feature for managing
	  multiple ticket files.
