[Buildroot] 2009.08 release status

[Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@uclibc.org>]

Hi,

As mentioned in the 2009.05 release announcement
(http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2009-June/027640.html),
the next release is getting near.

As you can see we're already running slightly late. I would like to
put out -rc1 early next week, so we'll be able to release the final
2009.08 by the end of August.

I'll run though the open issues in the bugtracker to see what else
should go in (many thanks to Will and Thomas for their support), and I
would also like to add gcc 4.3.4 which should get released any moment
now - Is there anything else that NEEDs to get into the release?

Once -rc1 out I want us to focus purely on bugfixes and not new
packages / versions (unless that fixes problems).

Notice that I'll be on holidays from the 7th to 24th with very little
connectivity, but I'll take care of the backlog when I get back.
Developers are very welcome to collect fixes in git trees and send me
pull requests to ease my work though.
