5.1-RC1 for ia64 in the works

[Marcel Moolenaar]

Gang,

This is an advance notice that ia64 will be joining the 5.1-RC1
circus if all goes well. A release is currently being built and
I expect it to be finished this evening. This means that if all
goes well, I can have the ISOs uploaded some time tomorrow.

As for ia64 packages: the machines that build the packages lock
up every couple of hours for reasons yet unknown. Unless Kris
decides differently: no packages.

I'll send out a final notice when the ISOs are uploaded (to hubs@)
or when I give up on it (to both hubs@ and ia64@). Whichever comes
first.

As for the contents: the ia64 release will come from the official
5.1 branch, with kernel patches applied. The patches will allow
the release to be usable on both Intel and HP machines (among
other things).

FYI,
