Seeing as the R1/Alpha 2 & R1 Final discussions are gathering dust,
here's some food for thought.
Here's the previous discussion :
//www.freelists.org/archive/haiku-development/02-2010
At least the feature list for R1 Final needs to be a(n informal) vote.
In general, since the Beta's should be feature complete, could they be
released on a tighter cycle, eg ASAP?
Eg, tag the last alpha for release & branch beta 1 on the same day.
(also for tagging beta K and branching beta K+1)
Onto the meat ...
* Immediate issues for R1/Alpha 2
1. lack of IRQ Routing + wifi drivers can prevent boot
1. possible ACPI issues
1. possible MTTR issues (does r35825 resolve them?)
1. kernel/vm - some people are still seeing stability issues
1. do we need to find a solution/agreement of /boot/system vs.
/boot/common for MandatoryPackages?
1. repackaging Optional packages or modifying directory layout
* always ensure 2 archives (either for gcc2 & gcc4 -or- gccX,
gccYhybrid) :
//www.freelists.org/post/haiku/Haiku-gcc2hybrid-and-software-for-gcc4,10
* always place libs, addons into a gcc2 or gcc4 folder :
//www.freelists.org/post/haiku/Haiku-gcc2hybrid-and-software-for-gcc4,30
* Feature inclusions for R1 Final
1. If Layout must be included
* If Layout must be public API or can be private
1. If Locale must be included
* If Locale must be public API or can be private

1. Which BeOS R5 features must we include:
