It's essentially ready. I meant to send out an announcement for early
testing last week and forgot -- I'll send one out by the end of the day
today. We don't plan to deploy to the clusters until early August.
Caveats:
- If you use PXE, you'll need to manually select precise as the
distro, it still defaults to Natty.
- The install-debathena.sh script will tell you Precise isn't fully
supported, but it is. That warning will be removed shortly.
- We have pulled Wine and libcv-dev from debathena-thirdparty, because of
some broken multi-arch issues. If you require Wine, you can install it
manually using apt-get, not aptitude.
