Message-Id: <200406021804.i52I4LOY014193@equal-rites.mit.edu>
From: Greg Hudson <ghudson@MIT.EDU>
To: release-team@MIT.EDU

Attending: ghudson amb othomas rbasch zacheiss wdc

1. 9.3 release status

We will go to early next Monday and to public after that.  We know of
no show-stopper bugs at the moment.

2. Disconnected operation status

We have three bugs we need to fix before progressing:

  * OpenAFS 1.2.11 repeats timeout process on each file accessed
    without network (zacheiss)
  * syncconf needs to mark network interfaces ONBOOT=no if
    DISCONNECTABLE=true (amb)
  * Cosmetic issues when logging in without network (ghudson)

3. Status

Under separate cover.  Some issues raised:

  * Andrew might like to add an athinfo query to display the public
    workstation verification log.  Also, he might like to add a public
    workstation verification log.

  * Bob has an idea to make sure the Mozilla lockfile gets deleted
    when a user logs out without quitting Mozilla.

  * Our documentation still mostly assumes that Hotline still installs
    Athena machines.  In the world of Zero-Cost Athena and dual-boot
    installs, that's not true any more.  Possible places we might want
    to have documentation about installing Athena:

      - The PWOG
      - The IS&T web pages
      - Stock answers
