We have a "trap" for those people who ask this inevitable question, and it worked quite well in the past.

Would it be possible to migrate this info to a wiki page ? So more people can edit the main content, perhaps a link from the wiki page to this forum post so people who want to talk about it, can carry on doing so - but still refer people to the wiki page for a real status update / release situation.

Certainly it is possible. Tim? Ralph? Fabian? Ned?

Yep,
But I'm wondering where we need to put it ? I was thinking in either the general CentOS FAQ or in the CentOS 5 FAQ ? Anyone can think of a better place ?

I don't think people will find that when it's put in the FAQ, especially if work is being done on that page (like adding to it when the first build is through, adding to it when QA found out that another complete build has to be done, add to it when translators are done).
But I'm not too sure on where to prominently put it either.
Remove the "Stay in touch at planet centos" link and put a prominent link like "Stay in touch with 5.3 development" on there?
Cheers,
Ralph

Can we get a page created - say something like, CentOS-5.3 Release Status, and then worry about where to link it from, or just add a link on the front page. Once a page is created we can start adding info, and we can link to it from IRC/MLs/Forums etc.

Sure - if everybody is fine with that ...

Scott,
Thanks for posting this - I misread (probably in great hope) that it _was_ CentOS 5.3.
I'm glad to wait, but it's actually a kind of relief knowing that it's on the way.
THANKS, GUYS!

This is great news, I'm sure CentOS will be a great release. My question is will CentOS 5.3 support other architectures again? Namely IA64? I suspect not as I've been waiting since 5.0 for it. Is there are hardware issue, like not having any, that is delaying this?

---- gee...when is it going to be ready? ;-)
seriously though, found this little tidbit which seems important to note (under known issues)...
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/5/html/Release_Not...
When upgrading from an earlier version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux to 5.3, you may encounter the following error: Updating : mypackage ################### [ 472/1655] rpmdb: unable to lock mutex: Invalid argument
The cause of the locking issue is that the shared futex locking in glibc was enhanced with per-process futexes between 5.2 and 5.3. As a result, programs running against the 5.2 glibc can not properly perform shared futex locking against programs running with the 5.3 glibc.
This particular error message is a side effect of a package calling rpm as part of its install scripts. The rpm instance performing the upgrade is using the prior glibc throughout the upgrade, but the rpm instance launched from within the script is using the new glibc.
To avoid this error, upgrade glibc first in a separate run: # yum update glibc # yum update You will also see this error if you downgrade glibc to an earlier version on an installed 5.3 system.

Nice! So all the systems that autoupdate won't have the logic :) Glad I don't do that...
Well we didn't get bitten by the problem on our 50 servers last nigth... but we probably got lucky (and no I don't recommend autoupdate but live with it.).

Wow, that's seriously messed up. I hate it when the software is setting up traps like that.
Thanks for the notice.
