            <thetext>http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/release/2008.0/index.xml is the closest thing we have to an official release schedule. The beta release date has long since passed, without any update or news item about this.</thetext>

            <thetext>When the schedule was announced, it was also said that it was tentative and subject to change. Since we were already behind, considering a second beta, and a member of releng is currently on hiatus due to some family issues, it&apos;s not possible to even guess at an updated schedule.</thetext>

            <thetext>You could write down that it has already changed. Where will you announce when the beta is ready? Will the tree snapshot and everything necessary t build the corresponding images be released at that time?</thetext>

            <thetext>Any news on this? I would like to know if a first Beta will be pushed out until 7-Apr as I have to setup a new box. If not, I&apos;ll go with 2007.0.</thetext>

            <thetext>It will be done when it&apos;s done. We&apos;ll announce things as we know them.</thetext>

            <thetext>... using a &apos;Beta&apos; to setup a new production box probably isn&apos;t advisable nor supported anyway; there is no way the final release will be published before 7th April as there was a 2-week period between Beta -&gt; Final for bug squishing.

So your best bet is to use Gentoo 2007.0 media and `emerge -uDNv world` after finishing your basic install to get the latest packages loaded on there.</thetext>
