IMHO the thrash factor is pretty low in this instance and it's worth being consistent before the announcement goes out. personally i have made everything consistent with ISO-IMAGES/5.1/ across all architectures manually, so i hope that is not a problem. > > also, can we turn on permissions ? the ia64 bits and others > > seem to be open access now ? > > They are? when i last looked (and synced) they were 644 on the iso images, but perhaps i was seeing things. can we get a fresh eta on when we should flip bits, if only because lots more stuff is now appearing in terms of different architectures etc. > (Yes, I'm deliberately not answering your first question...) hmm, well i'll leave it at that i guess. it'd be interesting to know how many admins are 'manually' going to be around for this release and how many are just relying on their automated mirrors. regards, -jason
