Description isteve 2006-08-03 07:32:42 UTC
The releng website (http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/index.xml) lists 2006.1 as current version, however:
a) It also lists it as next version
b) It's not on any mirrors
c) Lower down it is marked as not released.

Isn't  "Aug 2006 | 2006.1 | Not Released"  obvious enough?
Not infra-related anyway.

It is obvious, but I'm using the webpage to automatically obtain the current release... is there perhaps some better way? 

A separate plaintext file or xml reading the current release of different architectures would be great, but I failed to find anything like that on gentoo site.

I'm sorry, "infra-related"?

I fixed this...

Anyway, don't use the web page, as I rarely update it.

Use the "current" link on the mirrors.

One cannot read the symlink on http mirrors.

Therefore, a centralised way to determine the version is necessary for me, and so I used this web page.

Thanks for updating the webpage though.
