Project:RelEng/LiveCD/2004.2

This guide serves as the definitive source for all 2004.2 information.

Goals
2004.2 is a natural progression for the Gentoo release cycle. 2004.0 was focused on simply releasing, 2004.1 was focused on releasing and polishing the release process, and 2004.2 is going to focus on release media QA. To achieve this focus, 2004.2 has two distinct goals:


 * Completion of the Feature Request (found later in this document).
 * Stringent QA on release media

The schedule has been redefined in order to make these two important goals possible.

Release resources
Release notes:


 * AMD64 Release notes
 * HPPA Release notes
 * SPARC Release notes
 * X86 Release notes

md5sums for all release media can be found on the mirrors. Alternatively, a single text file containing all of the md5sums is also available.

All release media is signed by the Gentoo Linux Release Engineering (releng@gentoo.org) PGP key. The public key ID is 17072058, and the key is available through the subkeys.pgp.net keyserver.
