Good afternoon everyone! The 1.6 branch has been created and an initial release candidate tag has been posted at http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/tags/release_1_6_0-rc1 since trunk/base has been in development and testing for very long already and no problems have been reported so far. Please reinstall your base tools from this tag and test as extensively as you can, reporting any findings as tickets assigned to the new "MacPorts 1.6" milestone [1] Regards,... -jmpp [1] My initial plan for working with base bugs & milestones on our roadmap (base bugs, base enhancements & a release specific milestone) has proven less than optimal, I believe, so I'll think about a new methodology and will post it to this list for feedback ASAP; if in the mean time you have something to say about this, then please feel most free to post. For the time being I'll leave the 1.5 milestone open and will figure out later what to do with the tickets that are still open in it, but I feel that we need to have a 1.6 milestone at least for initial tracking purposes of new base tickets.
