Do not mix building and re-compiling packages. 5.7 packages are all already known and there was no real show stoppers to re-compile them. 6.1 packages are different story, and I am sure there was several show stoppers that delayed it. Anyhow, it has been only two weeks from 6.0 release, and original projection for 6.0->6.1 was 1 month. I am wondering how LiveCD release is going, there are several people interested in it. -- Ljubomir Ljubojevic (Love is in the Air) PL Computers Serbia, Europe Google is the Mother, Google is the Father, and traceroute is your trusty Spiderman...
