This is getting ridicolous.

Why should I let you know? Learn to read documentation and use provided 
information instruments yourself.

Check this very thread, in previous posts you have all links and 
information necessary to know when the tree will be ready, how to 
configure various tools you need.

There is a limit to hand holding you can expect on mailing lists.
