This was more a question of whether the CentOS 5.0 build would just be skipped in place of a 5.1 build since there has not yet been a CentOS 5.0 build for IA64 released yet. So with that said "All Arch releases follow the same update / rebuild cycle" isn't really all that accurate. :) > Anyway, once we get the release out - the updates on IA64 will track > i386/x86_64 very closely ( prolly in sync ).

Trust me, if my SGI Altix machines weren't being used right now to do real work I would happily allow you to build on them. I'm sure that 96 processors and 96GB of memory could be of some use. If there is a way that they could be I would be happy to schedule my own time on them to help out. > err ?
