There has been no update to the Gentoo LiveCD or stages since the 23rd of June. Is there something going on or ... ? Amd64 is updating fine, 0723 being the latest (http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/amd64/current/) -- please resolve this so we can get the most up-to-date versions of Gentoo. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to a mirror 2. Pick the x86 architecture 3. Find that it's out of date!
There's an issue with glibc with CHOST=i486-pc-linux-gnu that is preventing the weekly build from reaching the installcd. Also, an ISO that is 3 weeks out of date will not prevent you from getting "the most up-to-date versions of Gentoo".
You're right it won't, but if a major component is updated then compile times will rise :) Thanks for the info though.
The stages are still being updated. While the i486 stages aren't being built (due to the glibc issue), the i686 stages work just fine.
If the stages are being built, why are they not showing up? They should be here: http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/x86/current/ But instead, they are found here: http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/x86/autobuilds/
The 'current' symlink is only changed when there's an updated installcd.

I'd like to suggest updating http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/where.xml (temporarily?) so that the x86 link goes SOMEWHERE useful, instead of producing an error. This will help stop people having to come to #gentoo and ask about it (or aborting and leaving, assuming (correctly?!?) that the distros documentation is no longer updated.
the python-3 installation broken my server i have to reinstall it fast, what u suggest? i should use the 2008.0 ?
You can use the 2008.0 installcd and the i686 autobuild stage3 from earlier this week.

For anyone who is looking. As a temp workaround, there are a few mirrors that have the 0623 cd on them. This is due to the local mirror admin allowing a relaxed expiration policy (they keep more than 4 weeks of autobuilds) http://gentoo.arcticnetwork.ca/releases/x86/current/ http://ftp.klid.dk/ftp/gentoo/releases/x86/current/
I don't understand why nobody has done anything about the details on the Gentoo website. Why is it that it takes whoever is responsible for updating the website so long to actually state some details as to what is going on, which might just reduce the amount of duplicate bugs and problems that have been circulating for months now. I just don't understand. Wouldn't it be so much more effective if the bug was actually stated on the page where it's originating from? Please, just update the 'Get Gentoo' page -- is it really that difficult?

FYI, the symlinks have been restructured. http://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-dev/msg_d6035bb3d19e28a14f2979cb985d2532.xml
Thank you.
Thanks
The problem turned out to be a kernel bug that affected 2.6.26 - 2.6.28.7. Poseidon's kernel has been updated to 2.6.28-hardened-r9, which appears to solve the problem. We should get a normal i486/installcd autobuild next Tuesday. I'm leaving this open until then.
The bug has been resolved; weekly autobuilds and LiveCDs are now being generated (yesterday's 20090901 is the most recent since 20090623).
